Sea Glass Cottage, The

The Sea Glass Cottage by RaeAnne Thayne has Olivia Harper returning Cape Sanctuary after her mother falls from a ladder and sustaining serious injuries. Juliet Harper likes to be independent, but her surgery will have her out of commission for a couple of months. Plus, Juliet will need assistance raising her fifteen-year-old granddaughter, Caitlin and running the family business, Harper Hill Home & Garden. Juliet is hoping to repair the deep void between herself and Olivia during this time. The three Harper ladies are each keeping secrets from each other. This could be the chance for them to mend rifts, tell truths and become closer as a family. The Sea Glass Cottage involves three generations of Harper ladies: Juliet, Olivia and Caitlin. I thought the story was well-written with developed characters. The book had a good flow which I appreciated. The story alternates point-of-view between Juliet, Olivia, Caitlin and Cooper Vance. I thought The Sea Glass Cottage was a multifaceted novel. The various storylines all work together for one compelling story. Olivia has many fears that keep her from achieving her dreams or having a fulfilling relationship. Juliet is hiding a secret from her family and her best friend, Henry Cragun. Caitlin's mother died when she was a child. She never told anyone the identity of her father. Caitlin comes up with a plan to find out the identity of her biological father. There is much more which I want you to discover for yourself. I loved the beautiful descriptions of the Sea Glass Cottage and the sea. There are secrets revealed throughout the book which I liked. I was very happy there was an epilogue which nicely wrapped up the book. The Sea Glass Cottage is a complex, moving story about family, secrets, healing, forgiveness, friendship, honesty and love.
