The Surf’s Up series represents Beth Wiseman’s move away from Amish settings into contemporary romance. Set along the Texas Gulf Coast, the series starts with A Tide Worth Turning (2015) and includes Message In A Bottle, Christmas by the Sea, and The Shell Collector’s Daughter.
These books trade the Lancaster County farmland for sandy beaches, though Wiseman’s focus on faith and relationships carries over. The coastal setting gives the stories a lighter, vacation-style feel while still exploring the themes of love and personal growth that run through all of her work.
