Overcoming Tragedy and Finding a Place to Call Home


As a child, some of Annie’s favorite memories involve time spent with her family in a vacation cottage on the Oregon coast. As an adult she’s enjoying life and looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with her cousin, Gabby. When he mother calls asking her to reconsider and join the family for Thanksgiving, Annie feels guilty, but refuses to agree. She’ll see them at Christmas anyway.

Tragedy strikes that Thanksgiving when a mudslide demolishes her family home and kills her parents, her brother and his wife, and her baby niece. Annie thinks she’ll never recover from the tragedy. Gabby suggests that Annie think about the place where she was happiest and go back there. Willing to try anything, Annie returns to the cottage in Oregon and with the help of new friends, particularly Keaton, an artist who knows what it is to feel alone, she begins to heal.

This is a wonderful romance for summer. It reads quickly and the characters are people you’d like to meet. This is not just a boy-meets-girl romance. Keaton and Annie are adults who have been injured and are looking to heal. This is a story of finding love, acceptance and a place to call home.

If you enjoy romance with characters that grow and change in a beautiful small town setting, you’ll want to take this book this book to the beach, or just enjoy it in your living room.

I received this book from Penguin Random House for this review.
