BOOKS Thursday 6/28 MYSTERY ISLANDIn "Sea Change" by Karen White, Ava Whalen has struggled with a sense of not belonging, and, at 35, she still feels hindered by her family. Then she meets child psychologist Matthew Frazier and thinks her days of loneliness are behind her. After a whirlwind romance, they impulsively elope, and Ava moves to Matthew's ancestral home on St. Simons Island off the coast of Georgia. But after the initial excitement, Ava is surprised to discover that true happiness continues to elude her. Her new home seems to hold as many mysteries and secrets as her new husband. Feeling adrift, Ava throws herself into uncovering Matthew's family history and that of the island, not realizing that she has a connection of her own to this place—or that her obsession with the past could also destroy her future. 8 p.m. Books & Books, 265 Aragon Ave., Coral Gables.
