Beach Haven: a new chance for a new beginning

Beach Haven by Tammy L Grace is the first book in the Glass Beach Cottage series. Lily Reed is no stranger to loss. However, after the tragic death of her husband, she is desperate to escape the memories surrounding her. Leaving all she has known behind her, she decides to return to the Pacific Northwest and restore the Glass Beach Cottage that she inherited from her beloved uncle. As life by the ocean soothes her and the kindness of her new friends, she restores the Glass Beach Cottage and welcomes new guests. Along with the healing power of the sea, Lily learns she has strength and, with all the joys and sorrows of life, the best remedy for her own grief is in helping others. 

Beach Haven is a story of a heartbreaking loss, an unexpected inheritance and a chance for a new beginning. It is a great, fast paced and enjoyable read for a laid back afternoon. As I read, I was reminded of Ms. Grace’s Hometown Harbor series, which also takes place in the Pacific Northwest. My heart broke for Lily and I admired her decision to start fresh. The story definitely leaves it open for more adventures at the Glass Beach Cottage and I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series. If you enjoy small towns and new beginnings, I recommend Beach Haven. 

Beach Haven is available in paperback and eBook
