What's the book about:
Welcome to the Casa de Vida—eleven quaint bungalows located three blocks from the Pacific Ocean in tiny Seaside Village, California. Owner Liv McAlister never advertises vacancies beyond a small hand-lettered sign out front, preferring to trust that God will send the right tenant at just the right time. And He always does.
Heidi Hathaway’s life has been turned upside down. After an accident leaves her injured, unable to work, and incapable of negotiating the stairs in her multilevel oceanfront condo, she leases her home and moves into a cozy little cottage in the charming garden complex where her friend Piper lives. There she finds so much more than a place to rest and recover.
Piper Keyes knows Jared is not coming back from Afghanistan. After making it through the fifth anniversary of his death, she wonders if she’s at last ready to get on with life. She gingerly explores new avenues—photography, cooking, and buying her own boutique—and learns to open her heart again.
The most comforting thing about living at the Casa is that the women there become each other’s mentors and confidantes, learning from their own mistakes and arriving at new, healed places in their lives.
My thoughts on the book:
I have never read anything by Sally John I have heard good things about her books so I was very excited to read this book. The book is about a Heidi and her struggle through lifes challenges. I will say this much the story its self was well written and over all the story was good. I felt like the book had WAY WAY WAY to much going on. Even though it seemed that all the characters where tied together in one way or another and the transition of the was well written, to me it felt like there was way to many characters I honestly felt like I was reading a few peoples stories. I felt like if the book would have stuck with maybe two or three people as the main character and there story is would have been a lot better. I can't give this anything less the a 3 star rating because like I said over all the story was good. I was just really glad when it was over.
