Sea Glass Castle - (Carolina Coast) by T I Lowe (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The bestselling author of Lulu's Café and Under the Magnolias returns to Sunset Cove with another "endearing love story" (Publishers Weekly).

Sophia Prescott is still mending from the embarrassment of a highly publicized divorce from a pro football player, and the now-single mother is back in Sunset Cove, surrounded by the supporting love of her family and the loyal friendship of the Sand Queens. Sophia doesn't think there's any way to start over until an unexpected trip to the pediatrician's office with her son gives her a second chance after all.

Dr. Weston Sawyer knows all about a life shattered into a million pieces. His own all but ended when a truck driver fell asleep at the wheel and barreled head-on into his pregnant wife's sedan, killing her instantly and leaving Wes with a soul so wounded it has refused to heal. He packed up and left swampy southern Alabama for the beaches of South Carolina, where he plans to fade into the sleepy coastal town of Sunset Cove. Instead, the feisty Sophia Prescott will have him braving something different and entirely unexpected. If Sophia and Wes can take the leap to give love another try, they just might find that hope has a way of coming back around and weaving into one's heart.

Review Quotes

Lowe (Beach Haven) returns to Sunset Cove in the lovely third installment to her Carolina Coast series. Pediatrician Weston Sawyer struggles to heal from the loss of his pregnant wife in a car accident four years ago and hopes leaving Alabama to take over the pediatric medical practice in Sunset Cove will give him a fresh start. Sophia Prescott, part of a raucous group of friends dubbed the Sand Queens, moves back to South Carolina after escaping her abusive husband. Despite a rocky introduction, Wes agrees to hire Sophia as office manager as she finds herself in an increasingly desperate financial situation. He has a caveat: since neither is looking for romantic attention, he suggests they go on fake dates as a way to ward off the unwanted interest of others. The ruse does little to keep the doctor's female admirers at bay, and their fake romance soon turns real as they learn about each other and their shared deep faith. However, the burgeoning relationship could be thwarted when Sophia's ex-husband shows up determined to reconcile. Lowe's endearing love story delivers an age-old lesson: hope for happiness depends on the ability to release the past and trust. Series fans will enjoy this affecting tale.--Publishers Weekly
