Bestselling author Georgia Bockoven is at her powerful and emotional peak in this novel perfect for fans of Nancy Thayer and Elin Hilderbrand. Unlock the door to the beach housea place where life slows down, people come together, and love is the strongest force of all. After youve given your baby to strangers, what do you say when someone asks if you have children? Fourteen years ago, Melinda Campbell was fifteen and a half, pregnant and terrified. Desperate to protect her baby from a malicious grandfather and needed at home to take care of her own critically ill father, Melinda makes the most generous, heart-wrenching choice of all: adoption. Now shes living the successful life her father struggled to give her, but missing her daughter with a longing that shadows every joy. Jeremy Richmond knows the beach house the way a painter knows his canvas, intimately and focused on detail. His life revolves around his adopted daughter, Shiloh, the girl whos owned his heart from the moment he first held her as an infant. They were a picture-perfect family until Shiloh was diagnosed with pediatric lupus and Jeremys wife walked away. When Shiloh tells her father shes tired of fighting her illness and wants to meet her biological mother before its too late, Jeremy agrees to find a woman he has no desire to meet. From the moment Melinda and Jeremy come face-to-face, they realize their worlds will never be the same. Will the beach house that has harbored troubled hearts for decades prove to be the balm they need to heal?

Just relaxing today so far. Reading, napping and waiting for my husband to wake up and hopefully feel well enough to go shopping for a new washer-dryer. Both are trying to die on us 😩

Tamra We only truly appreciate appliances until they die. 😑 6y
Bostonmomx2 @Tamra and they never die at a good time. Only when finances are tight and you don‘t need to spending a grand or more. Such is life. 6y
Tamra @Bostonmomx2 precisely!! We‘re moving and my fear is the appliances will give out before then. 🤞🏾 6y

Good question 😕
I feel the same sort of gutted response when someone who doesn‘t know my “story” asks me if I have siblings.

CouronneDhiver Eek, that‘s a hard one. I usually have a “one liner” answer in my back pocket for awkward topics like that... 😐 6y

Starting this tonight. I‘ve really enjoyed this series, especially and maybe mostly because they take place where I spent so much of my childhood, Capitola, CA right next door to Santa Cruz. She mentions so places I‘ve been. I‘ve never had the zip code to call my own but my grandparents lived there so we all but grew up there.

This is the story of a daughter's request to be reunited with her birth mother and the intricacies of that reunion for all involved. I love Melinda's backstory as it gives perspective re: why she gave Shiloh up for adoption. I love her reunion with Shiloh-so great to read a happy progression of events. A romance-lite occurs late in the story.

Lite, non-angsty reading here but there are still complexities in the story. Works well as a standalone.

The gods are sending a clear message. I've had beach cocktails, a beach cookbook, and now a beach novel -- I see a vacation in my future. @WilliamMorrow

I hate unbound galleys! Those plastic slipcovers make me CRAAAAZY. So I won't review this one unless all the other titles don't pan out. #bookmail1through12
