A Christmas by the Sea

amazon barnes & noble Christianbook.com Goodreads
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.

Hott Review:

Wow! I absolutely loved this sweet Christian romance!

In A Christmas by the Sea we meet a lonely Widow and her precocious son who definitely need a miracle to continue. It’s so sweet to watch how God works in their lives through the good and difficult choices they make and the amazing people they meet. Plus there’s a couple of nasty normal people to keep this real.

You won’t want to miss this amazing dear Christmas Romance! Grab a hot cup of tea sit by the fire and enjoy!

That’s a lot of books, but mostly she considers herself a “storyteller.” Her books range from serious issues like schizophrenia (Finding Alice) to lighter topics like house-flipping (A Mile in My Flip-Flops) but most of the inspiration behind her fiction comes right out of real life. Her young adult novels (Diary of a Teenage Girl, TrueColors etc.) appeal to teenage girls around the world. Her annual Christmas novellas become more popular each year. She’s won a number of awards (including the Rita and Gold Medallion) and some of her books have been optioned for film/TV.
