A grieving English teacher. A handsome actor. A new start with fresh possibilities . . .. but the past is in the way.

Two years ago, Elena Jeffries lost both loves of her life in Boston. Now she is starting over in beautiful Seahaven, located on the idyllic Maine coast and conveniently close to the home of her brother Carlos.

Leaving Boston is difficult, but Elena—a dedicated high school English teacher—finds sanctuary in a renovated apartment building owned by the mystical Kit Gilmore, a longtime and beloved Seahaven resident, who has also known devastating loss.

Determined to keep her head down and focus solely on her classes, Elena finds herself distracted by an invitation to direct the senior class play—Our Town—with Jonathan, a popular history teacher. Along the way, she forges friendships with Kit, her new neighbors, and members of a local grief support group.

Her illusions of happily-ever-after were shattered in Boston, but a fleeting romance with a high-spirited, talented young actor offers her another distraction and something else entirely—a glimpse of her former self and a flicker of hope that indicates happiness may be on the horizon again.

Grief, she learns from Aunt Kit, is like a piece of sea glass, its sharp edges smoothed by time but never completely erased. As Elena learns to embrace her whole self—from deep sorrow to increasing joy—she slowly finds the courage to make amends with someone from her past while opening the door to a new love who has been right down the hall all along.

The reader's voice did not match the emotion in the stort.

I think the story line was okay, but the reader was awful. The emotion was missing or didn't match the situation. I tried to hang in there, but the main character' voice was irritating. I've listened to many, many Audible books and this is the only the second one I disliked.
