A Christmas by the Sea

About the Book

Book Title: A Christmas by the Sea


Author: Melody Carlson
Release date: September 2018
When Wendy Harper inherits her family's beachside cottage in Seaside, Maine, she sees it as a way to finally pay off the debts that have mounted since her husband died. But before it can be sold, the neglected property must be renovated. She and her 12-year-old son Jackson move in--temporarily, she reminds him--in order to do the work themselves, even though Christmas is coming. The charming town, along with local craftsman Caleb Colton, pulls on both Wendy and Jackson, who even registers himself for school in a bid to get his mom to move them there permanently. Wendy knows that the most responsible thing to do is to sell the cottage and return to Ohio, but the lure of the sea is hard to resist.

Join award-winning author Melody Carlson for a Christmas story that will warm your heart and have you dreaming of your own enchanted seaside holiday.
 
 My Thoughts

A Christmas by the Sea by Melody Carlson is a sweet holiday story about renewing ones faith and hope.
Wendy Harper, a young widow and mother of preteen Jackson, inherits her beloved family cottage in Maine. She thinks that it is the answer to her financial troubles if she can just do come home improvements and get it sold.


I really enjoyed this short story set in Seaside, Maine. Jackson is so full of faith and hope that they can make a life for themselves in Seaside, that it really reminds the reader that we should all put our trust in God and let him have control over our life.


I received a copy of this novel from netgalley.com and Revell in return for my honest review.
