Savor a breath of fresh salty air in this feel-good story about one woman’s journey to believe she deserves happiness. Single mom Tess Gilmore has been moving so fast to keep her life together that she’s hardly had time to notice how unhappy she is, and how distant she’s become from Eva, her preteen daughter. An unexpected job opportunity offers a chance to leave her Connecticut home for Seahaven, the idyllic coastal Maine town where she spent her childhood summers. With a reluctant Eva in tow, the two begin to carve out a new life in Seahaven, surrounded by colorful, quirky neighbors and soothing sea breezes. Within weeks, Eva begins to discover mysterious, brightly-colored feathers in surprising places. As Tess and Eva are embraced by their new friends, they begin to work through their mother-daughter growing pains, but a surprising run-in with Tess’s first love, Luca, has the potential to re-ignite their interrupted romance... or destroy her new and improved relationship with Eva. Will Tess have to choose between Luca and Eva? Where are those beautiful feathers coming from? And how can Tess redefine her life in a way that includes true happiness? Perfect for fans of Gilmore Girls and loaded with relatable mother-daughter moments and family drama, Feathers in the Sand delivers a sweet escape to charming small-town Maine for a second chance at happiness.… (more)

Feathers In The Sand tells the story of a mother and her eleven year-old daughter as they explore their relationship with each other following the upheaval of moving to a new town and being miles from friends and family.

This is not my normal fare, I’m more a thrillercrime kind of guy but this one grabbed me by the heartstrings straight away and just wouldn’t let go.

The characters are well fleshed out. The interactions and relationships between all of the main and supporting cast are relatable and the story flows very well from start to finish.

With a romantic sub-plot, a missing cat, and a bit of jeopardy, you’ve got the perfect summer read for the beach. ( )

Feathers in the Sand is a sweet, heartwarming book, but ultimately it took me a while to get thru because it was slow and fairly predictable. Would certainly be perfect for readers who are also fans of Hallmark movies.

Tess Gilmore is a single mother of two who strives to have a Gilmore Girls-esque relationship with her daughter Eva, but it’s not quite happening. Though she had the Lorelei/Emily dynamic perfected with her mother. She moves her family to a small town in Maine where her aunt lives and where she enjoyed summers as a kid. Will moving to Seahaven give her the fresh start she needs? ( )
