WILLOW BROOK ROAD is the latest book in the Chesapeake Shores
series where you are reunited with the O'Brien family members.
This is a family that is very involved in each other's lives,
especially Mick O'Brien. Anytime something happens you can be
sure Mick will be front and center, whether you want him to be
or not. This particular story is very heartwarming because
Mick's oldest grandchild returns home to Chesapeake Shores
after having her heart broken by someone she thought she was
in love with. All of the family is happy to have
Carrie back home, but she's floundering.
In addition to Carrie returning home, there is heartbreak for
Mack and Susie in their adoption situation. WILLOW BROOK ROAD can be
read as a standalone, but reading the other books in the series
will give a clearer picture on the family. Chesapeake Shores is a
wonderful series about family and the dynamics involved.
Carrie is giving serious thought to what she wants to do with her life. In the
process of thinking things through she encounters Sam Winslow, who
recently moved to Chesapeake Shores. Sam is a single father after gaining
custody of his six-year-old nephew after both his parents are killed. Carrie is
not too
impressed with Sam when she initially meets him. Once she
becomes aware of the circumstances surrounding their first
encounter, she changes her viewpoint.
Carrie and Sam both have a lot to learn. She learns to be
confident in making a career decision that she believes in and
letting her family, especially her Grandpa Mick, see that she
knows what she's doing. Sam learns he can be a father to
his nephew regardless of how he was brought up and that he can
do a great job.
In reading the Chesapeake Shores series, you learn all about Susie
and her
battle with cancer. So when you see the painful suffering her
and Mack go through in trying to have a family your heart
bleeds for them. But as always, the O'Brien family rallies
around them, providing support.
