The Characters of Sardis Lake

Magazine writer Nancy Green wanted to write about food, or the water park, or anything but the topic she's just been assigned: the quirky residents at a camp near Sardis Lake. Most people in the community fear them. No one really knows what they're doing out there or what they're all about, and no one has dared to find out. With the help of her writing partner, Adam, Nancy must enter the notorious area to interview these mysterious people.
Though Nancy and Adam have been friends and coworkers for years, this is their first project as a team. Their working relationship is going so smoothly that Nancy finds herself wondering if it could develop into something more. She realizes that this is probably a bad idea, but that doesn't lessen her attraction to him. Little hints whisper that he might feel the same.
As they knock on doors, they find that many of those behind them are just as scared of outsiders as they are of them. Nancy and Adam's attempts to earn their trust suffer a setback when a couple of other people hungry for a story piggyback their progress with ill intentions. This unexpected roadblock only furthers their determination to tell the residents' stories to the prejudiced public.
During the interview process, the writers encounter situations often humorous, sometimes dangerous, but always intriguing. The interviewees have eccentricities born of individual fears and have sought refuge in a place where they know they will rarely be bothered by anyone. As Nancy and Adam get to know these people and see the beauty in each of them, their desire to convey their findings to the public grows. They set out to change the negative public mindset surrounding the residents, despite the many challenges thrown their way.
