Memories of the Beach: a mysterious letter brings two women to a beach resort town and changes their lives forever

Memories of the Beach is the first book in Blue Heron Cottages by Kay Correll. Aspen receives a mysterious letter from her estranged mother, asking her to come to an all-expenses-paid week at the Blue Heron Cottages. The very mother who disappeared from her life over twenty years ago. After losing her job and her apartment, Aspen heads to the small town of Moonbeam to stay and figure out her next movie. Willow also receives a letter asking her to come to the resort; but she is reluctant until she realizes that this letter may be related to what her mother was trying to tell her with her dying breath. As Aspen and Willow arrive at the cottages, nothing can prepare them for the revelation they are about to learn. 

Memories of the Beach is a fast paced, sweet story of two women whose life is about to change with a single letter. Aspen is a woman who has known struggles but always lands on her feet. Willow is a woman who has lived a great life and doesn’t know what to do with this mysterious letter urging her to a place she has never been. The revelation that awaits them will throw their world for a loop. Overall, it is a sweet story but I felt too many loose ends were left. I am assuming they will be wrapped up in the rest of the series. However, I don’t know if I am invested enough to want to find out. However, I recommend Memories of the Beach. 

Memories of the Beach is available in paperback and eBook
