Jo Marie Rose is seeking serenity by purchasing a B&B in
Cedar Cove, Washington, and renaming it Rose Harbor Inn, in
memory of her decease husband, Paul Rose. She desperately
needs a fresh start to help overcome her grief at the
loss.
Feeling at peace in her new surroundings, Jo Marie soon
begins to follow the nighttime whisperings of her husband
and takes solace in his presence. It all soon becomes
apparent to her that her "Inn" is a place for her guests
and
their saddened souls to heal. This begins with her very
first two guests.
Joshua Weaver arrives troubled and angry, being called
to
return to the home of his dying step father where he was
cruelly dealt with as a youngster. They have been
estranged
since the death of Josh's mother and his step brother,
Dylan. Richard immediately kicked Josh out of the house
just prior to his graduation, following the death of his
mother. Josh has a healing of the heart that is totally
unexpected towards his dying step-dad.
Abby Kincaid reluctantly returns home after 10 years for
her brother's wedding. Abby cannot forgive herself for
driving the car that took the life of her best friend,
Angela. Completely guilt ridden and unable to forgive
herself, she has put her life on hold, denying herself
happiness and a future. A voice from the grave brings
healing to Abby and gives her the will to move on to
happiness. Rose Harbor Inn is definitely the miraculous
place for healing of troubled souls.
Each unique character in this tale is suffering from one
type of disaster or sadness that finds healing at the
seaside inn in Cedar Cove. I found this to be a typical
Debbie Macomber story filled to the brim with nostalgia and
magical warmth and love. She has a wonderful way of
leaving
the reader with a stronger faith and belief in miracles by
the end of the book. This is a most difficult book to put
down until the very last page has been turned and left you
with complete contentment. I truly loved this book in her
new series of the town of Cedar Cove.
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.
