The Gift at Sugar Sand Inn: when an unexpected inheritance offers a second chance of life

The Gift at Sugar Sand Inn by Leigh Duncan is the first book in the Sugar Sand Beach series. Michelle Robinson has a great life. A husband who loves her and two children on their way to a successful life. It all came crashing down when her husband of 25 years suddenly died and even after one year later, she is still barely staying afloat. She now realizes that she cannot stay in their beautiful home in the rolling hills of Virginia and is forced to sell before the bank forecloses. Her decision puts her at odds with her children but her three best friends, Erin, Nina and Reggie, she is ready to face her bleak future. Until an unexpected inheritance opens new opportunities for her future. Will the beautiful Florida beach offer her a second chance at life, love and happiness? 

The Gift at Sugar Sand Inn is a great beginning as it introduces four women at the crossroads in life and finds themselves wondering what to do next. My heart broke for Michelle as she is still trying to function a year after her husband’s death. She realizes that she has put off the inevitable for far too long and now she is in a race against time to get her life in order. I also enjoyed her friends as they deal with their own problems and issues. The story was fast paced, easy read as I was engrossed in the events and the characters as they find themselves in Sugar Sand Beach. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and I look forward to reading the rest of the series. If you enjoy stories about four friends and new adventures, I highly recommend The Gift at Sugar Sand Inn. 

The Gift at Sugar Sand Inn is available in paperback and eBook
