Ben Hoffman has everything going for him. A great career, a house on the beach, and he''s engaged to be married. Then his life changes.

While honeymooning in Japan, his world is turned upside down when Janet is killed. Haunted by the thought of spending his life alone, Ben starts over along the California coast in Mendocino...only to discover he can''t escape his painful past.

Returning to Los Angeles, Ben''s plane crashes. Narrowly escaping his own death, he begins the second chapter of his life.

Is it merely a coincidence he meets Gretchen, whose life experiences parallel his own? As they fall in love, Ben realizes their chance meeting was more than destiny. It was a twist of fate.

Following in the footsteps of Second Chapter, Bill Schneider''s debut novel, Sand Dollar is the continuation of Ben Hoffman''s journey to find love and happiness.

Leaving behind an idyllic life in Southern California (where he was born and raised), Ben abandons his successful career as an entertainment journalist to experience life at a slower pace-surrounded by four seasons. His friends think he''s having a mid-life crisis.

Ben buys a dilapidated guest house in Provincetown, Massachusetts and moves to Cape Cod-where the Pilgrims landed in 1620. Assisted by a unique design team, Ben reinvents End of the World Inn only to discover the renovation is more than he bargained for. The rundown guest house is staffed by a dysfunctional cast of characters whose travails represent how life in Provincetown is drenched with possibilities.

Ben soon discovers that moving to Cape Cod has turned his life upside down while opening doors to a new world. Experiencing the changing of the seasons, he is now living on the edge.

Sand Dollar portrays the uncompromising beauty of Cape Cod, where world famous beaches blend with the seductive elements of nature. Life is so enchanting in Provincetown, it revitalizes one''s spirit.
