A Home By the Sea / Christina Skye / 355 pages / R. T. Reviewer's Choice Award

Debbie Macomber says this is "a delightful story about healing, forgiveness, and love all neatly wrapped up in a ball of yarn,"  to this I would add self-sacrifice.  Grace resigns from her dream job when the grandfather who raised her is hospitalized.  She gives up authoring a digital cookbook and world travel to help her grandfather and his vet clinic.  She also moves 3000 miles away from her bomb-deactivating new love, Noah, and his large, welcoming family.  This Summer Island book is a fun read, filled with food, friendship, family, and happily ever after.
