A magical novel that unravels one of life's greatest mysteries—how to go on after a devastating loss—through the power of words and their ability to heal, to transform, and to touch the heart.
Luck: an event that could be for good or ill, depending on your interpretation.
As a lexicographer, Abigail Harker has always taken refuge in the meaning of words. But when fate erases in one tragic moment what she loves the most, the very foundations of her life vanish.
Abigail retreats to Chapel Isle, a secluded island in North Carolina's Outer Banks. As caretaker of a run-down lighthouse, she hopes to redefine herself. But as a resident soon remarks, "If you came to Chapel Isle for normal, you came to the wrong place."
For on Chapel Isle, no one can be neatly defined. From a scientific genius to the feuding fishermen's wives, from a handsome hothead to the ghost said to be haunting the lighthouse, everyone is struggling to find meaning where meaning seems lost. And when a series of mysterious crimes strikes the island, Abigail finds that she must face down her deepest fears if she is to save herself, her neighbors, and the new life she's unexpectedly come to cherish.

The Language of Sand
Abigail loses her son and husband in a fire and decides some 10 months later to move to an island off the coast of North Carolina that her husband used to visit when he was a kid.
The book had a good arc to it - she comes to the island, she fixes up her living accommodations and she becomes friends with the locals. Everything here was necessary in terms of getting to know Ruth and Caleb and Merle and Lottie and Nat and Bert. I thought it was a fun array of people and that it didn't end with Abigail finding romance or being 100% healed, but it ended with hope.
The murder/mystery/robbing scenario kept things going and I definitely didn't guess who was stealing all those items from summer people's homes. Good one, Ms. Block!
I also liked how Abigail talked to herself - that was realistic!
