Emotionally Satisfying! 'The Inn at Walker Beach' - The Barefoot Sisterhood 1 - by Lindsay Harrel

 


About the book:

A dream years in the making becomes reality with the inaugural meeting of The Barefoot Sisterhood...

Jenna Wakefield has been through a lot in her twenty-seven years—losing her mother, becoming a teen mom, and battling depression, just to name a few. And working a dead-end job, barely paying her bills, and fighting unrequited feelings for her boss aren’t exactly part of the life she always imagined.

With her six children grown and her husband constantly traveling for work, Elise Griffin finds herself utterly without purpose for the first time ever at age sixty-three. But “retirement” isn’t as wonderful as it might sound—it gives her far too much time to think about the affair her husband had a year ago ... the one she’s never told anyone about.

When both women are invited into the mysterious Barefoot Sisterhood and asked to help restore an old beachside inn for a good cause, they find themselves supported and encouraged in new and exciting ways. This inspiration leads to dream seeking ... and new romance as well.

Discover what happens when women give each other the space to finally dream—and in doing so, make the world a better place.

My review:

This was an emotionally satisfying story as we see two women in very different stages of life really come into their own and start to see their worth.  I loved the romance for Jenna, falling in love with her boss and friend but also needing to work through her fears of failing and not measuring up.  Elise's story was also good but I have a harder time reading stories about infidelity.  She really wanted to make her marriage better so started to do the work of figuring out what was at the root of their problems and it was interesting to see that unpacked.  There was a little bit of faith in the story and I loved the idea of a sisterhood who supported one another and helped each other achieve their dreams.  And the setting of Walker Beach was just gorgeous.  I'm excited for the next book in the series about the two more women from the sisterhood!

I received a kindle copy of this book from JustRead Tours.  I was not compensated for this review.  All opinions are my own.
