Jenna packs up her belongs, along with her fourteen year old daughter Sabrina and heads to the beach for a new beginning. Sabrina goes kicking and screaming, telling Jenna she is the worst mom ever. Ahhh ... teenage hormones! When Jenna and Sabrina arrive, they are in for a surprise. The motel that Jenna remembers from her childhood visits is in shambles. The roof is leaking, the entire building needs a new coat of paint, as well as every room, and they need new carpet and various other repairs. How is Jenna going to make this place habitable and profitable?
WELCOME TO MOONLIGHT HARBOR is the first book in a new series by Sheila Roberts. Although Jenna vows she is finished with men, there seem to be plenty in this cozy little beach town who are interested in her. The characters in Moonlight Harbor are a sundry lot, but bring some interesting perspectives to the table. Jenna is strong, resilient and resourceful. The plot takes several unexpected twists and turns on its way to a delightful ending. This is a story about reshaping your life and finding a rainbow in every storm. It's hard to grow up at any age, as both Jenna and Sabrina are quickly learning. Their mother/daughter relationship is a dicey one throughout the story. Ms. Roberts includes some of the recipes mentioned in this charming story at the end of the book. Can't wait to see what life has in store for Jenna in Moonlight Harbor. It seems there may be some cross-over with Ms. Roberts Icicle Falls series. What fun!
Book Summary
USA TODAY bestselling author Sheila Roberts returns with a brand-new series set on the charming Washington coast
Once happily married, Jenna Jones is about to turn forty, and this year for her birthday—lucky her—she’s getting a divorce. She’s barely able to support herself and her teenage daughter, but now her deadbeat artist ex is hitting her up for spousal support…and then spending it on his “other” woman.
Still, as her mother always says, every storm brings a rainbow. And when she gets a very unexpected gift from her great-aunt Edie, things seem to be taking a turn for the better. Aging Aunt Edie is finding it difficult to keep up her business running The Driftwood Inn, so she invites Jenna to come live with her and run the place. It looks like Jenna’s financial problems are solved!
Or not. The town is a little more run-down than Jenna remembers, but that’s nothing compared to the ramshackle state of The Driftwood Inn. Aunt Edie is confident they can return it to its former glory, though Jenna feels like she’s jumped from the proverbial frying pan into the beach fire.
But who knows? With the help of her new friends and a couple of handsome citizens, perhaps that rainbow is on the horizon after all. Because, no matter what, life is always good at the beach.
Featuring all the warmth, romance and trademark humor of Sheila Roberts’s writing, this new series will delight longtime fans and welcome a generation of new readers.
