Newlywed Emily Shaw is sure she will never be as happy as she is this moment, on her honeymoon with Ryan at Sunset Beach, NC. The couple make a pact to buy a house there one day, but sadly Ryan dies of cancer seven years later. The heartbroken Emily is surprised to learn that her husband left her the money to buy the house, and she reluctantly returns to Sunset Beach where she realizes as she gets to know the community that perhaps God's plan for her is to continue with her life after all. VERDICT Whalen's third series title (after The Guest Book; The Wishing Tree) is a touching and emotional story of true love both lost and found. The fully developed characters and bittersweet tone combined with the steady pace will resonate with readers who enjoy Robin Lee Hatcher.
