Away For The Weekend

Weekend of Whispered Promises

When four strangers convene at the breezy dunes of a picturesque seaside town, each arrives with their own story to hide. In Away For The Weekend, Dyan Sheldon masterfully weaves a tapestry of chance meetings, stolen glances, and the electric promise of new beginnings. From the moment the hatchback’s engine dies under a sky painted with lavender twilight, readers are swept into a world where every sand-swept path leads to unexpected revelations and every midnight confession carries the weight of reinvention.

Roads Less Traveled

Sheldon’s cast is unforgettable: there’s Mia, the wistful art student longing to shed her small-town timidity; Leo, the charming mechanic grappling with his own family’s legacy; Harper, the ambitious journalist hiding a fragile heart beneath a wry smile; and Finn, the free-spirited musician whose melodies mirror his restless soul. Over the course of one sunlit Saturday and a star-filled Sunday, their fates collide in a cozy beach house, peppered with laughter, late-night guitar sessions, and the bittersweet ache of first love. Through deft dialogue and richly drawn settings, Sheldon explores how solitude can evolve into solace when you least expect it.

Sunrise of Self-Discovery

Balancing humour with heartfelt drama, Away For The Weekend captures the intoxicating thrill of stepping outside your comfort zone. Themes of forgiveness and fortitude emerge as each character confronts the choices that led them here—and those that will carry them forward. With evocative prose that shimmers like dawn on the water, Sheldon reminds us that sometimes the most transformative journeys happen over the course of a single weekend.
