About The Book:
Grace Whittaker’s life is coming apart.
In the wake of her mother’s death, a stalled writing career, and a slow-motion separation from her husband, Grace is more directionless than ever. But when she returns to Sea Drift, the beach town where she and her mother summered for years, Grace’s life comes together in the most unexpected ways.
Soon after arriving on the picturesque coastline that meant so much to her, Grace discovers more than she remembers, and for reasons she can’t possibly fathom. Amid the weathered surf shops, pastel motels, and sloping beaches, Grace begins to encounter younger versions of herself. Each one is vivid, alive, and breathtakingly real.
As she navigates this most surreal week―reconnecting with old friends, trying to solve a quiet mystery about her mother, and revisiting a love she left behind―Grace is forced to remember who she used to be. It’s the only way she can figure out who she can still become.

Book Blurbs:
“Upon closing this novel, I feel as though I’ve just come home from actually spending time at its beach-town setting, and I’m so sad to have left that magical place. Insightful and intriguing, surreal and yet firmly grounded in all too relatable feelings and situations, Ways to Find Yourself is a book to return to again and again, like a special beach house.” —Suzy Krause, bestselling author of I Think We’ve Been Here Before and Sorry I Missed You
“Ways to Find Yourself is, at its core, a love story between a mother and daughter, and a moving portrait of the ways grief binds and transforms us. Angela Brown writes with tenderness and wonder about the ways love can reach across time, memory, and loss to guide us home. A beautiful meditation on who we were and who we might still become. I loved every page.” —Rachel Del Grosso, author of Eleanor & Sam
