In "Driftwood" by Valerie Sherrard, a young girl named Randi is sent to stay with her aunt in a small, coastal town after her mother's death. Struggling with grief and the challenges of her new life, Randi finds solace in the local beach and the connections she makes with the townspeople. As she uncovers secrets about her family and the community, Randi learns about resilience, friendship, and the importance of letting go of the past. The story beautifully captures her journey of healing and self-discovery against the backdrop of the ocean's ebb and flow, symbolizing change and renewal.
