Saving Sandcastles (Lobster Bay Book 1)

A feel-good beach read for women 50+ that will leave you smiling! “Nothing better than small-town cozy stories and Meredith Summers is the Queen of them!” - Goodreads Review Starfish Cottage In the quaint coastal town of Lobster Bay, three women find their lives entwined with humor, challenges, and the kind of friendship that only comes once in a lifetime. Claire Turner, a successful bakery owner, thought she had it all—until a rival business threatens her life's work. Just when she’s ready to declare war, she discovers that the owner of the new café across the street is none other than her teenage crush. Old sparks reignite, but can love bloom amidst the rivalry? Jane is the devoted daughter and innkeeper grappling with her mother’s worsening dementia. A crisis pushes her to her emotional limits, forcing her to make the most difficult decision she's ever faced. But could this cloud have a silver lining in the form of a handsome stranger? Maxi, seemingly happily married, faces an empty nest and an emptier marriage. With her kids gone, it’s time to confront the truth about her relationship with James. As she grapples with her fears, can Maxi rediscover her dreams and find a second chance at love? Loyalty, love, and a dash of intrigue make for an unforgettable journey. Will these three women find what they're truly looking for, or will they miss the chance for happiness waiting just around the corner? Each book in this series can be read as a standalone story. There are no cliffhanger endings and every story is wrapped up at the end. There are recurring characters that appear in all the books though, so it’s more fun if you read from the beginning to get to know the characters as they navigate life’s path.
