REVIEW:

Harbor Dreams by Tammy L. Grace is the first book in the Stillwater Inn Series. It is a spin-off of the beloved Hometown Harbor Series. If you are a fan of that series you will absolutely love this new series. I read the first book and couldn’t wait to read book two!

Since this is a spin-off we see some of the characters we have come to know in the Hometown Harbor series. I think that is one of my favorite parts of this book. In this book Ida Grayson is dying. The community rallies around her and helps her stay in her home which is the caretakers cottage for Stillwater Inn. You know that is what these people in this community are all about. They take in newcomers as their own and take care of their own. I love the warmth that comes through in these two series.

Ida is dying and she is writing letters to her children and a good friend and a stranger to the rest of them. They have no idea what is coming. I have to say I didn’t either. This is a unique situation and one that caught my attention and imagination. I had a hard time putting this book down and even going to sleep at night. I kept thinking of Ida and what was coming for her and her loved ones. I loved Ida. She had such wonderful memories of spending summers at Stillwater Inn.

If you are a fan of Tammy L. Grace and a fan of reading series, you will want to grab a copy of Harbor Dreams and put it on your nightstand for your reading pleasure. There are several more installments coming and they come out pretty quickly for a series. I recommend you start reading now. You will want to read the rest of the Stillwater Inn Series by Tammy L. Grace. Until next time…Happy Reading!

SYNOPSIS:

“Heartbreak and healing collide in the Stillwater Inn Series—an emotional family drama that breaks your heart, mends it again, and stays with you long after the last page.”—Kay Bratt, Multi-Million Copy Bestselling Author

Six strangers. One crumbling inn. A year to heal the past—or lose everything.

Ida Grayson is dying. Her body is failing, but her heart still aches for the children she lost along the way. Not to death, but to distance, resentment, and her own mistakes. The Stillwater Inn, her grandparents’ beloved legacy, sits empty and decaying, a monument to dreams deferred and love misunderstood.

In her final months, Ida writes letters. Her two beloved children, her two stepchildren who never forgave her for trying to be their mother, a ferry worker who became her closest friend, and a stranger none of the others know. These six she names as her heirs to make things right.

However, her will demands the impossible. Live together. Restore the inn. Become a family. But some wounds run deeper than the Pacific, and some secrets refuse to stay buried. Can six strangers bound by one woman’s dying wish find forgiveness, or will the inn crumble along with Ida’s last hope?

Discover the first book in the Stillwater Inn Series, an emotional family drama set in the world of Hometown Harbor. Harbor Dreams is a bittersweet story of second chances, found family, and the home that holds us together when nothing else can.
