Summer by the Tides is
definitely soap opera worthy. Maddy Monroe and her family experience
a wide range of storms both literally and figuratively. Observing her
family's ruined relationships, and personally experiencing betrayal,
has left Maddy with the firm opinion that love is not worth the
trouble. On top of all that, Maddy has placed God on the shelf,
vaguely aware of Him, but not interacting with Him.
Connor Sullivan, Maddy's
grandmother's neighbor, contacts Maddy and both of her sisters with
the news that their grandmother is missing, drawing all three to
Seahaven, the vacation home of their youth. Once the sisters all
arrive, it is obvious that they are not one big happy family. While
Maddy takes an immediate dislike to Connnor, they do find a way to
work together when out-of-work Maddy's management skills are needed
at his restaurant. Despite the friction between them, Connor is drawn
to her, the first woman who has caught his attention since his wife's
death three years earlier.
If
you are a fan of the soaps or have fond memories of watching them
with your mom or grandma, you will enjoy Summer by the
Tides. I received a
complimentary copy of this book from Thomas Nelson through NetGalley.
