The Sea Glass Cottage

By: RaeAnne Thayne

Narrated by: Vanessa Johansson

From the New York Times best-selling author RaeAnne Thayne comes a brand-new novel for fans of Debbie Macomber and Susan Wiggs. RaeAnne Thayne tells the story of an emotional homecoming that brings hope and healing to three generations of women.

The life Olivia Harper always dreamed of isn’t so dreamy these days. The 16-hour work days are unfulfilling and so are things with her on-again, off-again boyfriend. But when she hears that her estranged mother, Juliet, has been seriously injured, Liv has no choice but to pack up her life and head home to beautiful Cape Sanctuary on the Northern California coast.

It’s just for a few months - that’s what Liv keeps telling herself. But the closer she gets to Cape Sanctuary, the painful memories start flooding back: Natalie, her vibrant, passionate older sister who downward-spiraled into addiction. The fights with her mother who enabled her sister at every turn. The overdose that took Natalie, leaving her now-teenaged daughter, Caitlin, an orphan.

As Liv tries to balance her own needs with those of her injured mother and an obstinate, resentful 15-year-old, it becomes clear that all three Harper women have been keeping heartbreaking secrets from one another. And as those secrets are revealed, Liv, Juliet, and Caitlin will see that it’s never too late - or too early - to heal family wounds and find forgiveness.

Don't miss Thayne's next release, The Path to Sunshine Cove: three love stories in one with the emotional pull of Debbie Macomber, Barbara Delinsky, and Susan Wiggs!

Loved it!

A wonderful listen about family all trying to figure life out together. Secrets, sneakiness, important info not shared, health issues, wanting to be strong and independent, years and years of pent up guilt and some wonderful love stories thrown in. Such a great listen.

Sea Glass Cottage

Ms. Thayne never disappoints! I couldn't stop listening! I started the audiobook one afternoon and listened all the way through!

Wonderful Story

This book should definitely be a Hallmark Movie!!! Very sweet story. An easy listen while I knit and relaxed. Looking forward to to many more.

Cape Sanctuary

JWright
This is the first Thayne novel I have listened to or read. The setting is beautiful. I often select stories with a seashore background.
The characters are well developed, but quite predictable, but I enjoyed getting to know each of them.

However, the author uses coarse language that I found unnecessary and distracting to the serene setting. Although Thayne refers to biblical ideas, some of her characters state philosophies that are opposed to biblical truths,

I almost stopped reading when I encountered the first coarse word, but I wanted to give the novel a fair chance.
The narrator is superb!
Will I choose another Thayne novel? Probably not.

No connection to characters

The story line was good but I felt I only knew the surface of the characters. Could have been more personal information. I didn't feel the emotional connection like I wanted to.

Great story

Loved all the characters, different story lines but they all intertwined. Enjoyed some of the mystery thrown in.

Nothing special

Sweet story that could have been told in 1/3 of the time. It dragged into silly details. Could space out for a while and not miss anything

Great Book!

A Great "feel good" book! Especially if you like happy endings! I loved it!

The Sea Glass Cottage

I have listened to several of RaeAnne Thayne books. This one did not disappoint me. Would have liked to read a sequel to this family or the area. Very comforting families and town. Something very interesting for me to hear about towns by the ocean, I guess, because I alway wanted to have this for my own. life. Have given this six stars across the board as it did not have swearing, vivid sexual scenes and did have just different interesting twists and turns.

same samo - books all the same

Like I wrote on the last two, the stories are sounding exactly the same. if you're new to this author, enjoy. once you're hooked on the characters, 12 books in, it's like a script. kinda like reading a mad lib sheet. woman's name, man's name, conflict: CHARACTERS CAN'T BE TOGETHER NO MATTER WHAT, Location: coming home, never thought i would but missed it. I love it here. Timeline: 2-3 weeks.... yep every story has them fall in love, can't live without you in 2-3 WEEKS... NOT MONTHS OR YEARS... WEEKS!!! EVERY STORY. WHO DOES THAT at that ratio? I almost can't listen anymore or have to fast fwd bc I know what's coming. to include REPITITIOUS MONOLOGS!!!!
