At 40, Tara Lawson’s world falls apart. A painful divorce and the loss of her job as a journalist leave her reeling. But it’s the news of her beloved grandmother’s passing that draws her back to her childhood home in Seagrove, South Carolina, to settle the estate.

In the midst of her grief, Tara unexpectedly reconnects with Noah, her childhood best friend. Now a successful sea glass artist, Noah’s steadfast presence becomes a comforting anchor. Together, they revive their old tradition of hunting for sea glass, a simple joy that begins to heal Tara’s emotional wounds.

As the summer unfolds, their bond deepens, and a profound love blossoms. The peaceful beach town, the shared silence and laughter, and the beauty of sea glass all play a part in Tara’s healing process.

But as the season draws to a close, Tara is faced with a decision that threatens to unravel everything she’s rebuilt. Torn between two paths, she must choose what she truly wants.

Sea Glass Summer  by Rachel Hanna is part of an ongoing series. This book is #11. It mainly focuses on Tara, returning home after her grandmother’s death, and Noah – Tara’s long term friend who now, as the story continues becomes something more.

The story also includes Julie who has been keeping a long term secret from her family and friends, she has been writing her first book. We learn of her journey and ultimate success.

I particularly liked the setting and the inclusion of the sea glass in the story, and the cover is really inviting.  There is a sense of a broad community of people who are there for each other.

The narrator does a competent narration and added to the story. I think this book will be welcomed by those who have been enjoying the series since its beginning.
