Book Blurb (from goodreads):
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber comes a heartwarming new series based in the Pacific Northwest town of Cedar Cove, where a charming cast of characters finds love, forgiveness, and renewal behind the doors of the cozy Rose Harbor Inn.
Jo Marie Rose first arrives in Cedar Cove seeking a sense of peace and a fresh start. Coping with the death of her husband, she purchases a local bed-and-breakfast—the newly christened Rose Harbor Inn—ready to begin her life anew. Yet the inn holds more surprises than Jo Marie can imagine.
Her first guest is Joshua Weaver, who has come home to care for his ailing stepfather. The two have never seen eye to eye, and Joshua has little hope that they can reconcile their differences. But a long-lost acquaintance from Joshua’s high school days proves to him that forgiveness is never out of reach and love can bloom even where it’s least expected.
The other guest is Abby Kincaid, who has returned to Cedar Cove to attend her brother’s wedding. Back for the first time in twenty years, she almost wishes she hadn’t come, the picturesque town harboring painful memories from her past. And while Abby reconnects with family and old friends, she realizes she can only move on if she truly allows herself to let go.
A touching novel of life’s grand possibilities and the heart’s ability to heal, The Inn at Rose Harbor is a welcome introduction to an unforgettable set of friends.

ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of Ms. Macomber's books yet, but I did see one of the book turned movie over Christmas a couple of years ago and enjoyed it. I couldn't help but think that there must have been much more to that book than was included in the movie. Of course, now that I am talking about it, the name escapes me, but I watch it every Christmas now. It has James Van Der Beek and Doris Roberts in it. Oh! Hey! I got it! Mrs. Miracle! Thanks so much for the contest and the chance, Bea!

The Hallmark Channel runs that movie every Christmas. I've read a couple of her books; some I liked, some I didn't. I'll give this one a try.
DeleteHey Bea,
DeleteIt is a pretty cute story for a sweet romantic feel-good movie around the holidays. That is why I always watch it. But I watch all of those types of movies every holiday anyway. :) I am curious as to how her writing style and the book differ from the movie though.
Love Debbie`s books, her stories keep you wanting to turn pages.Thx 4 the chance!!
