About the Book:
Nina is at her wit's end with her teenage daughter, Kendra. Still dealing with her own wounds of divorce, Nina hopes a change of scenery will help. She and Kendra head to the serene coastal town of Whelk's Island to spend a restorative summer with Nina’s mother, Rosemary—bringing three generations under one roof for the first time in years. Amid the island's charm, old wounds begin to heal, and as new friendships bloom—especially with the steady and enigmatic Fisher—light begins to break through the cracks of Nina’s tightly controlled life.
Kendra's reckless behavior continues but Fisher’s intervention during a critical moment for Kendra sparks a sense of hope in Nina that she thought was lost. Still, change is never easy.
As the women navigate the tides of forgiveness, growing up, and letting go, healing begins and new love brings surprises. While Whelk’s Island may not hold all the answers, it has a way of reminding people that moving forward doesn't follow a set path—it requires the bravery to start anew.
My Review:
If
you are ready for a novel where the characters are nice and help each
other out when they need it, this is the one for you. Naigle has created a situation where a young teen has lost her stable life and is acting out. Those around Nina, her mother, are
welcoming, accepting and affirming of mother and daughter. There is
a faith message but it is subtle. Toss in a little romance and you
have a novel where you just might sigh with pleasure as you reach the
end. It is part of a series and will be best enjoyed if the previous books are read first.
