The Sea Glass Cottage

De: RaeAnne Thayne

Narrado por: Vanessa Johansson

From the New York Times bestselling author RaeAnne Thayne comes a brand-new novel for fans of Debbie Macomber and Susan Wiggs. RaeAnne Thayne tells the story of an emotional homecoming that brings hope and healing to three generations of women.

The life Olivia Harper always dreamed of isn’t so dreamy these days. The 16-hour work days are unfulfilling and so are things with her on-again, off-again boyfriend. But when she hears that her estranged mother, Juliet, has been seriously injured, Liv has no choice but to pack up her life and head home to beautiful Cape Sanctuary on the Northern California coast.

It’s just for a few months—that’s what Liv keeps telling herself. But the closer she gets to Cape Sanctuary, the painful memories start flooding back: Natalie, her vibrant, passionate older sister who downward-spiraled into addiction. The fights with her mother who enabled her sister at every turn. The overdose that took Natalie, leaving her now-teenaged daughter, Caitlin, an orphan.

As Liv tries to balance her own needs with those of her injured mother and an obstinate, resentful fifteen-year-old, it becomes clear that all three Harper women have been keeping heartbreaking secrets from one another. And as those secrets are revealed, Liv, Juliet, and Caitlin will see that it’s never too late—or too early—to heal family wounds and find forgiveness.

Don't miss the enchanting holiday tale, THE DECEMBER MARKET by RaeAnne Thayne, a story of second chances, family, and unexpected love, set in the charming town of Shelter Springs, where the spirit of Christmas brings two reluctant hearts together.

Loved it!

A wonderful listen about family all trying to figure life out together. Secrets, sneakiness, important info not shared, health issues, wanting to be strong and independent, years and years of pent up guilt and some wonderful love stories thrown in. Such a great listen.

Cape Sanctuary

JWright
This is the first Thayne novel I have listened to or read. The setting is beautiful. I often select stories with a seashore background.
The characters are well developed, but quite predictable, but I enjoyed getting to know each of them.

However, the author uses coarse language that I found unnecessary and distracting to the serene setting. Although Thayne refers to biblical ideas, some of her characters state philosophies that are opposed to biblical truths,

I almost stopped reading when I encountered the first coarse word, but I wanted to give the novel a fair chance.
The narrator is superb!
Will I choose another Thayne novel? Probably not.

Sea Glass Cottage

Ms. Thayne never disappoints! I couldn't stop listening! I started the audiobook one afternoon and listened all the way through!

Wonderful Story

This book should definitely be a Hallmark Movie!!! Very sweet story. An easy listen while I knit and relaxed. Looking forward to to many more.

the voices used.

why did the the voice for a 54 year old woman sound like she was 80?
