A touching novel of a friendship that crosses generations, and learning how even the smallest gifts can change a life for good, from USA Today bestselling author Nancy Naigle.
Synopsis:
Two years after her husband’s death, Amanda Whittier has two children to raise alone, an abandoned dream of starting a business, and a fixer-upper cottage by the sea. She has no room in her life for anything else and little interest in moving on after losing the man she loved.
Paul Grant is a relative newcomer to the area, and his work with former military dogs needing rehabilitation has been good for the town. Though he loved once before, he’s convinced he’s not suited for romance and is determined to find meaning—alone—through his work and role in the community.
Widowed Maeve Lindsay was born and raised on Whelk’s Island. Spirited, kind, and a little mischievous, she pours her life into the town. But she carries a secret that shapes her every move.
Together, these three souls find encouragement in the most mysterious places and discover a love that’s bigger than their pain, healing their wounded hearts in ways none of them could have hoped for or expected.
Review:
Looking for the perfect beach read for Summer plans? You've found it! It has romance, family, hard truths, and a modern take on grit, wrapped up in Southern charm. It is one of those books where you can see the plot line coming, but Nancy adds just enough little hooks to keep you reading, just to see how things DO turn out. The sayings left on the shells are ones you may want to frame around your house, as reminders for when you need a voice to cheer you on. The characters are all charming, and you relate to them as people you would know in real life. They have real problems, not ones that go away magically. Yet there is magic in this story- and it will charm its way into your heart and make you look at shells a whole lot differently this Summer and hopefully remind you of what is truly important in life!
