Seaside Harmony

Ending years of separation, sisters Caroline, Gracie, and Sam reunite in Nantucket after their mother’s death. The seaside village was a summer haunt when the women were young. Their mother held a particular fondness for the Misty Harbor Inn, so it is with great disappointment that they find the historic house dilapidated and its once-beautiful gardens overgrown. Caroline, the adventurous sister, quickly hatches a plan to purchase the inn, which is for sale, and restore it to the bed-and-breakfast splendor their mother always envisioned. Sam, the business savvy one, is more easily persuaded to join in the endeavor than Gracie. She—the middle child, who is the most prudent and also a grieving widow—worries that an investment in the inn will prevent her from helping her children and grandchildren. Rife with intrigue and intimations of more action to come, the plot moves slowly but evenly through the sisters’ changing relationships with each other and their blossoming friendships in the Nantucket community, creating a heartwarming tale of faith and love. Evangeline Kelley serves as the pen name for the writing team of Christian inspirational authors Patti Berg, Pam Andrews, Barbara Hanson, and Camy Tang, in their first collaboration and kickoff for the Postcards from Misty Harbor Inn series.
