Bufflehead Bay, by Sheila Rinear

A coastal community pummeled by Hurricane Sandy leaves victims residing in FEMA-provided rooms at what’s left of old motels somehow untouched by the storm. In returning to the home of her youth to help her family get back on their feet, attorney Sarah discovers that what needs the most restoration is her own life. Bufflehead Bay is a quirky and heartwarming story of a family with the determination to not only survive, but to thrive.

Sheila Rinear is a playwright, screenwriter, teacher, end-hunger advocate, and women-in-theater activist. A beach-walking devotée and survivor of losing her home in Superstorm Sandy, Sheila has received grants, commissions, and awards for her work resulting in development, productions, publication, and readings nationally. She lives in Manahawkin. www.sheilarinear.com
