About the Book
Claire Summers replies to an advertisement to help run a Sidmouth boarding house, but her handsome, secretive business partner might send her packing if he learns her genteel façade hides a less-than-respectable past. And will a hoped-for reunion with her family lead to reconciliation or leave her estranged forever?From the Back Cover
A surprise homecoming tests the bonds of sisterhood as a hidden past comes to light . . .Disgraced eldest sister Claire Summers has been living in exile as companion to a stern great-aunt in Scotland. About to lose her place and longing to be reconciled with her estranged family, Claire sees an advertisement from someone looking for a "respectable female partner" in a Sidmouth boarding house. Is it a sign? She answers the ad, hoping she has not made another reckless mistake. When she meets the handsome, secretive proprietor, she wonders what he's hiding and if he's any more trustworthy than the nobleman who betrayed her years ago. Claire is drawn to him even though she fears he will reject her when he discovers her genteel façade hides a less-than-respectable past.
Meanwhile, the Summers family learns their great-aunt has died and Claire has disappeared without a word. The sisters rally together to find their lost sibling, but will their unexpected reunion heal old wounds and rekindle their bonds . . . or deepen the divide?
Return to the captivating Devonshire coast as the Summers sisters navigate romance, second chances, and the enduring strength of sisterhood in the face of adversity.

This has been such an enjoyable series. And yes, you’ll want to read them in order as it follows the ups and downs of the same family of sisters. I was glad to see Claire have her story told. There was a lot of tension in the story; between sisters, mother and daughter, daughter and business partner. It kept me reading! Klassen, as always, writes a wonderful story line with characters I’ve come to love. Even her secondary characters come to life. She also paints such a good description of the seaside that I feel as if I’ve been there. A story of second chances and clean romances, I loved it. I’m looking forward to the 4th and final book in the series to be released in 2025. If you enjoy Christian historical fiction then I recommend the entire series. You won’t be disappointed.
Delightful

The Seaside Homecoming is the third book in Julie Klassen's On Devonshire Shores series. The books are best read in sequence as the character development is shaped over time leading up to this book that actually takes us back to the sister that started it all. Claire, the oldest Summers sister, saw her opportunities for marriage slipping by two years prior to the events in this book. That led her to making some unwise decisions that not only impacted her life, but the life of each member of her immediate family. While the initial impacts may have all been difficult, Klassen uses this family's story to show that God can work all things for good. She has also crafted a story of forgiveness, forgiveness that is easily and freely given, and forgiveness that slowly develops with time and effort. In addition to these deep and meaningful themes, Klassen livens the family's story with thoughtful acts of kindness, sweet romance, a touch of mystery, along with the possibility of spies operating among them. The Seaside Homecoming is a delightful read for those who have followed this story from the beginning. I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy from Bethany House via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
