Heartwarming. Inspirational. Raw.
Irene Hannon continues to draw us in with both new and beloved characters making their home in Hope Harbor, a charming coastal community every reader wishes were real. From the generous, guardian-angel-like Charlie, who always seems to be in the right place at the right time with the right thing to say, to two couples struggling with difficult pasts and promising futures, Hannon crafts believable, relatable characters that quickly become her readers' good friends. The only disappointment is that the mystery of who owns the "sea glass cottage" of the title is never revealed, although it's fun to guess.
The minimal plot of "Sea Glass Cottage" follows Christi, a former spoiled rich girl, and Jack, Christi's ex-boyfriend who learns he has a daughter from another relationship. Christi comes to Hope Harbor hoping Jack will loan her money for a friend, only to find a new, providential home and job. The woman who offers her the job has separated from her husband after the death of their son. Her husband's redemption and dedicated efforts to love his wife were the highlight of the book for me. But, really, there's something for everyone to love in this novel. Hannon rarely disappoints, and "Sea Glass Cottage" quickly won me over.
