NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY LIBRARY JOURNAL
In this enchanting novel set at Cedar Cove’s cozy Rose Harbor Inn, Debbie Macomber celebrates the power of love—and a well-timed love letter—to inspire hope and mend a broken heart.
Summer is a busy season at the inn, so proprietor Jo Marie Rose and handyman Mark Taylor have spent a lot of time together keeping the property running. Despite some folks’ good-natured claims to the contrary, Jo Marie insists that Mark is only a friend. However, she seems to be thinking about this particular friend a great deal lately. Jo Marie knows surprisingly little about Mark’s life, due in no small part to his refusal to discuss it. She’s determined to learn more about his past, but first she must face her own—and welcome three visitors who, like her, are setting out on new paths.
Twenty-three-year-old Ellie Reynolds is taking a leap of faith. She’s come to Cedar Cove to meet Tom, a man she’s been corresponding with for months, and with whom she might even be falling in love. Ellie’s overprotective mother disapproves of her trip, but Ellie is determined to spread her wings.
Maggie and Roy Porter are next to arrive at the inn. They are taking their first vacation alone since their children were born. In the wake of past mistakes, they hope to rekindle the spark in their marriage—and to win back each other’s trust. But Maggie must make one last confession that could forever tear them apart.
For each of these characters, it will ultimately be a moment when someone wore their heart on their sleeve—and took pen to paper—that makes all the difference. Debbie Macomber’s moving novel reveals the courage it takes to be vulnerable, accepting, and open to love.
BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Debbie Macomber's Silver Linings.

Maggie and Roy Porter are planning an anniversary weekend at Rose Harbor, to be paid for by Roy's parents. Sheltered young Eleanor "Ellie" Reynolds also reserves a room, only to cancel and then rebook her reservation. While preparing for the weekend, Jo Marie tries to learn something about her gruff handyman Mark Taylor's past.

Avis d’utilisateurs
I always enjoy Debbie Macomber’s books
I enjoyed this book as I always do when I get a book by Debbie Macomber. The story line was good & different enough to keep me turning pages. The ending was disappointing mostly because it seemed rushed. While you always expect that there will be a happily ever after, it just felt too “tidy” & wrapped up too quickly.
Amazing
I have been reading your books for almost a year now. Everything book by book draws me into the lives and places of each one. I love the descriptions and narratives. Beautiful work!
Love Letters
I like the book it was very fast reading. But I was surprised at the ending, I didn’t like the way it ended not at all. Very disappointed, unlike Debbie books
