Every return to Hope Harbor is like going home. Irene Hannon has created a wonderful town that's always a pleasure to visit—it's the hometown you wish you had.
After tragedy upends her world, Jeannette Mason retreats to the tiny Oregon seaside town of Hope Harbor to create a new life. Vowing to avoid emotional attachments, she focuses on running her lavender farm and tea-room--until a new neighbor with a destructive dog and a forlorn little girl invades her turf. But she needn't worry. Dr. Logan West is too busy coping with an unexpected family, a radical lifestyle change, and an unruly pup to have any interest in his aloof and disagreeable neighbor.
Yet when both Jeanette and Logan find themselves pulled into the life of a tattered Christian family fleeing persecution in war-torn Syria, might they discover that love sometimes comes calling when it's least expected?
Bestselling and award-winning author Irene Hannon invites readers back to the charming seaside town of Hope Harbor, where they are sure to find peace, healing, and a second chance at happiness.
I just love returning to Hope Harbor! This installment focuses on Jeannette, a woman who runs a lavender farm and tea room, her new neighbors Logan and his niece Molly, and a Syrian refugee family recently relocated to Hope Harbor.
I especially loved Jeanette's story. After a devastating loss, she decides life will be easier if she doesn't let anyone in. But when Logan and Molly move in next door, Jeannette can't help but be drawn to the handsome doctor and his grieving young niece. Then she becomes an English tutor for the Syrian refugee family that just moved to Hope Harbor, and it becomes harder and harder to keep herself walled off.
Jeannette's journey to opening her heart again was really touching ... and, at times, heartbreaking. Hannon wrote a truly beautiful story!
Driftwood Bay is a sweet, gentle small-town romance, perfect for fans of the Mitford or Cedar Cove novels. 4-1/2 stars.
Note: While Driftwood Bay is part of the Hope Harbor series, each book stands alone. Some characters carry through the series (like Charley the taco guy and the delightful clergymen Father Murphy and Reverend Baker), and main characters from previous books often pop up again, but each book works as an entry point to the series.
Buy the book.
