Publisher Description
After her divorce, a woman moves to coastal Maine and forms some new attachments in this "thoroughly enjoyable and cozy tale" (Library Journal).
Recovering from a painful divorce, Sarah Draycott has moved to the picture-postcard village of Sea Glass on the Maine coast, and is soon caught up in the lives of its inhabitants. As she helps elegant but troubled widow Gwen cope with her desperately ill son, and assists nine-year-old orphan Oliver in uncovering the secrets surrounding the mysterious Cully Mansion, Sarah's broken heart begins to heal. She isn't looking for new romance—but love finds a way of seeking someone out just when they least expect it…
From the "deft and talented" (Richmond Times-Dispatch), Agatha Award-winning author of the Ellie Haskell series, this "sweet contemporary romance" (Publishers Weekly) comes complete with a gloriously atmospheric setting, a generous dollop of mystery and suspense, and a cast of unforgettable characters.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Cannell takes a break from her Ellie Haskell cozy mystery series (She Shoots to Conquer, etc.) with this sweet contemporary romance featuring 34-year-old Sarah Draycott, a successful designer of patterns for knitting magazines. After her husband leaves her for another woman, Sarah moves from the Midwest to Sea Glass, Maine, to make a new start. In Sea Glass, Sarah encounters nosy neighbors and, eventually, an unexpected love interest. While descriptions of the beauties of nature enchant ("It was a perfect morning in early July, with just enough breeze to edge the deep blue silk of the bay with ripples of lacey foam"), readers should be prepared for some sentimental exchanges between new lovers ("I fell in love with you when we met. And if that's equally like a romance novel, it's because most clich s are around because they are truths that have been sanded and buffed over time").
