Story
After years of pursuing a denim design career, Maris Carrington never imagined trading her Chicago studio for a New England shingled cottage. But a forgotten home movie tucked inside a dusty attic box leads to an unexpected summer ... One of uncovering family secrets while settling her father's estate, one of inheriting a forlorn German shepherd, one of reconnecting with old friends on a weathered boardwalk, beneath starlit skies on a beach nestled in a crook of the Connecticut coast.

Story
Reluctant to leave her cherished New England hometown after her sister's winter wedding, former journalist Vera Sterling makes a sudden decision. She takes what's left of her severance pay and invests it in real estate ... in one particular drafty colonial home and old timber barn set upon the pretty banks of Addison Cove. In that rough-hewn barn, she discovers a secret treasure left behind by the previous owner, the proprietor of the long-forgotten Christmas Barn gift shop. While restoring her run-down, wood-sided home--its creaking floors, broken banister, and neglected widow's walk--that secret slowly unfolds like a bit of snowflake wonder, crystallizing hopes and dreams for many in this small Connecticut town.

What do you do when you find out your whole life was a lie? That your husband really wasn't your husband but someone else's? That the vows you made to each other were simply empty promises? You pick up and move to the country to start fresh. When life hands you limes, you make sure you have tequila because your life is about to get stirred up.

Story
Clare and Henry have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was 36. They were married when Clare was 23 and Henry was 31. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.

Then and Now
Joanne DeMaio treats us to more nuances of the loneliness, grief and happier times of the beachgoers of Stony Point in this her 13th book in this excellent, endearing series. “Then” is a deeper replay of the feelings Jason felt when his brother Neil was killed and how this death impacted so many other lives. The lives of Kyle, Lauren and even Shane. “Now” is the time for Elsa’s grand opening of her Inn. “Now” is the further attraction of Shane and Celia. And “Now” is the continuing story of Jason and Maris.
All these beachgoers whose lives have been intertwined for over twenty years. Intertwined between ‘then’ and ‘now’ and hopefully into the future.

Save your money
This latest book about the Sea Side Friends is just a recap of everything we have already heard. The story barely advances at all. There are only a few sentences that give us anything new to add to the story. This series started out so promising and has landed with a big thud.
