Life in Port Aransas was looking breezy and bright for Sam and his friends at the Dream Bean coffee shop. Shelly and Dave were talking marriage, Allie and Bo were tightening family ties, and Sam was welcoming newcomers to town and falling for a new singer at the Sea Garden. But storms are never far away on the Texas Gulf Coast, and there would be none more destructive than Hurricane Harvey. Would Sam and his friends survive the storm's awful fury? And would life in Port Aransas ever be the same again?

When Sam Barnes' high-flying life in Dallas falls apart, he flees to the coastal town of Port Aransas and fades into the life of a reclusive beach bum. But things start to change when he meets Dave, a young widower working through his own loss; Shelly, owner of the Dream Bean coffee shop; Bo, a crusty old shrimper; and Allie, Bo's free-spirited daughter. Together they are tested and forced to confront their own issues. In doing so they discover family and community.

Local journalist and author Jeff Hampton tells the stories of the wild horses of Corolla...and their protectors. A herd of wild horses has roamed the Currituck Outer Banks for nearly five hundred years. In the last four decades the area has changed dramatically, with a boom in tourism bringing increased visitors and more traffic. A boon to the local economy in many ways, these changes have also led to more dangerous interactions with the herd. A group of locals reacted by creating the Corolla Wild Horse Fund. Learn about the horses and the actions taken to preserve them and help them thrive. Read tales of some of the characters among the herd, including the stallion Star, Amadeo, the blind pony and Raymond the mule.
