About this listen
New York Times Best Seller
After her marriage ends, one woman’s struggle to pick up the pieces finally leads to a new beginning - but is the past truly behind her? In this poignant novel, number one New York Times best-selling author Debbie Macomber explores the powerful intersections of love and family.
“This deeply emotional tale proves it’s never too late for love.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
It’s been nearly six years since Julia Jones had her heart broken. After her husband became involved with another woman, she did everything she could to save their marriage, to no avail. The couple’s two daughters continue to stand by Julia in the wake of their father’s behavior - and they’ve had a tough time getting along with the other woman who’s become their stepmother. Distraught after selling the family home, Julia moves into a condominium complex that offers the warmth and charm of a fresh start. Now, having settled into her new community and sold her successful interior design business, she’s embraced a fulfilling new life, one that doesn’t seem to need a man in it. Her beloved father’s trusty saying is ringing truer than ever: It’s better this way.
But when Julia meets a handsome new resident in the building’s exercise room, she can’t help but be drawn to him. Heath Wilson is a welcome change from the men she’s encountered on the occasional - mostly disastrous - dates her sister has eagerly planned for her over the years. As she and Heath, a divorcé himself, begin to grow close, their friendship blossoms into an unexpected love. However, they soon realize that combining families proves to be a challenge, even though their four children are adults.
When a dramatic revelation threatens the happiness they’ve found, Julia and Heath must reconcile their love for their children with their love for each other. If they can’t, their bright future together may be nothing but a dream.

A new beginning in charming Oceanside, Washington, is exactly what Hope Godwin needs after the death of her twin brother. There are plenty of distractions, like her cozy cottage with the slightly nosy landlords next door, and a brewing drama among her students at the local high school. Even having settled quickly into the community, Hope still feels something is still missing. That is, until her landlords convince her to volunteer at their animal shelter. There she meets Shadow, a rescue dog that everyone has given up on. But true to her name, Hope believes he’s worth saving.

Adie Lou Kruger’s ex never understood her affection for what her parents called their Cozy Cottage, the charming, ramshackle summer home - complete with its own set of rules for relaxing - that she’s inherited on Lake Michigan. But despite the fact she’s facing a broken marriage and empty nest and that middle age is looming in the distance, memories of happy childhoods on the beach give her reason for hope. But converting the beloved, weather-beaten structure into a bed-and-breakfast isn’t quite the efficient home-reno experience she’s seen on TV.

Critic reviews
“Macomber has a firm grasp on issues that will resonate with readers of domestic fiction. Well-drawn characters and plotting - coupled with strong romantic subplots and striking coincidences - will keep readers rooting for forgiveness, hope and true love to conquer all.” (Kathleen Gerard, blogger at Reading Between the Lines)
“Macomber keeps her well-shaded, believable characters at the heart of this seamlessly plotted novel as she probes the nuances of familial relationships and the agelessness of romance. This deeply emotional tale proves it’s never too late for love.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

Two classic stories of finding love where you least expect it! Marriage Wanted: As far as Nash Davenport's concerned, marriage isn't shelter from the storm - it is the storm. He's a divorce attorney, himself divorced, who believes no married couple can live up to their wedding vows. My Hero: Would-be romance writer Bailey York has already failed twice at love. She thinks men are wonderful to read and write about, but that's it. Which is probably why she has such difficulty creating a hero for her novel. What she needs is a real-life example.

This is what I would call a Beach Read and quite predictable. That being said, I did enjoy it. Just not how I like to spend my credit. And over very quickly……again not what I like to have happen.

Confused
Heath and Julia met and began a relationship 6 yrs after their respective
divorces. Why would ANYBODY have an issue with their being together? They were not the adulteress. They both were blameless in the affair their spouses carried on.
Both Michael and Adam could overlook what damage their mother and Eddy’s infidelity had done to their father and Julia was woefully ignorant. That they could say Julia was untrustworthy and kept her daughters away from their father was truly arrogant and showed their lack of unwillingness to see truth. How dose someone kept grown adults from interacting with their father? Maybe they should look at dad’s interactions with his daughters as a reason for estrangement.
Great storyline,just thought reactions to Julia and Heath dating didn’t add up.

I’ve listened this this book whenever I feel overly tired or depressed, it revives the mood to mend relationships and be kind to all we know.
