When a renowned book editor returns to her roots, she rediscovers her strength & her passion in this heartwarming novel from the author of The Waratah Inn.
Sarah Flannigan is moving home to the small, beachside hamlet of Emerald Cove. After years in the city building a career as an editor at one of the top publishing houses in the country, she’s uprooting her life to help her mother run the family cafe after the divorce.

She calls on her eldest child to help and is delightfully surprised when her daughter moves home to the Cove. But concerns for her daughter's future happiness soon mar the reunion.
Newlywed Meg has always wanted a family to love, so when she and Brad spend their honeymoon in Hawaii it seems like a dream come true. What happens next will change their lives forever.
Visit beautiful Emerald Cove where a delightful ensemble cast of characters will warm your heart as you follow along with the ups and downs of their lives in this small beachside town.

Customer Reviews
Are you on the right path? Are things really as they seem?
The book explores these questions through the lives of several women at the crossroads of life, set in a small community. The author made me care about the characters and want to know more about them. One is trying to regain her balance after a divorce, her daughter is unsure about her long-term relationship and life in general. The two find out startling information about a family member’s past actions; actions that have serious repercussions for them. Since this is book one of a duet, I expect the mystery to deepen in book two. A new resident has a mysterious past that was obviously traumatic but in what way? Will the past come to find her? And finally, tragedy strikes a newly married couple. I could feel the characters’ pain and confusion as their stories unfolded. There were also lighter moments and journeys into the past. Although the story leaps from past to present and from one character to another it is clearly presented so I was not confused.
