Her stories blend second chances, emotional connections, coastal settings, and the idea that home can sometimes lead us back to the people we were meant to find. A Rhode Island author, Alisa has always loved the Ocean State's beaches and waterfront communities, and Newport is especially meaningful to her because it is where she met her husband. She enjoys summers at the beach, time with her family, beach walks, and a good sunset over the water.
