Wonderful Start

Evelyn's father passed away and she and her children are in Florida for his funeral. They all loved spending vacations with Stanley in the Keys. When Evelyn receives a package from Stanley's lawyers, she learns he bought them a cottage. This book is about getting to know the family and share in their sorrow. It's not all sad as there are bright spots too. Looking forward to seeing where this series will take us.

Interesting First Book in Series

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2022

I recommend you read the prequel first because it sets up the story for you. I liked this book because of the subtle hints of what might happen in the series. I also liked Evelyn whose husband left a long time ago but they never got a divorce. She has just now started dating Ben. The end of the book was good. I received an advance copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review.

When you think you can't move on, life shows you can.

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2022

Evelyn has been a single Mom since her husband left when their 4 children were young. She has worked two jobs most of her adult life. Her father, Stanley, stayed in Connecticut when the kids were young, but when they got old enough, he moved to Florida to the Keys. Every year he rented a cottage, and they all got together for a vacation.
This year, Stanley's health deteriorated, and he passed away. Evelyn and the kids go to Florida to take care of the funeral and everything that needed to be done. She meets some of her father's friends, and her father's best friend's son, Ben. As she is grieving the loss of her father, she spends time with Ben, and enjoys being with him. Their two weeks in Florida is over, and they head back to Connecticut. When they arrive home, there is an envelope from her father's lawyer. Inside is also a letter her father wrote to her.
This is book one in the series of six books. What will Evelyn decide to do when she knows what her father's wishes are? Each week starting on August 13, a new book will be released, and we can follow Evelyn and her children's journey, through their grief, the decisions they make, and the life that unfolds.

Great start to a new series

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2022

Evelyn Carpenter and her four children return to Florida for her father's funeral. While there she meets Ben, the son of her father's best friend. They go out to dinner and a friendship blossoms. Her son Sam also meets a new girl, Gemma, who he really likes. Unfortunately they won't be in Florida long after the funeral. Coral"s storytelling flows so well you have to keep on reading. I like how you get to know all the characters and their personalities. The final chapters bring a surprise to the Carpenter family that will bring them back to Florida once again.

Superb Start to Series

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2022

Great start to an intriguing, heartfelt storyline! Evelyn lost the last of her family, other than her 4 children, who she loves very much. Her dad's passing left a gaping, huge hole in her life and children's lives, but gave her a wonderful surprise. Always felt sad for Evelyn after her husband just walked out on them, leaving her and their 4 children to make it on their own.

Now, finally, there is an interest in someone else, Ben. He is perfect for her and even her son has a girlfriend now, too. They are all, suddenly and happily packing to spend Christmas in the Keys.

Received an early copy for my honest and voluntary review.
