Over the weekend I finished a great book that was both romantic and charming. It was one of those comforting reads that allows you slip into their world for a little while. From the very first page, I was hooked.

The beginning of the story finds Ellen almost drowning in the ocean before being rescued by Roy, a local in the town of Beacon, Maine. Ellen has traveled to Beacon from New York City, to deliver a letter to a Chet Cummings, from her Grandmother to him. Ellen’s Grandmother passed away one week ago, and she gave Ellen this letter to deliver, as her last request.

While in this town, she not only thinks about her fiancé back in New York, but keeps running into a man over and over, testing her personal conscious as to whether she really loves the man back in New York or not.

Discoveries are found out about a hidden talent her grandmother had, along with the evidence of that talent. A talent she never shared with Ellen, and not even her own daughter. But the town locals of Beacon know all about her talent, and her story. The story she has never shared with her family.

This is a story about old love and lives, and new love and lives. Will Ellen marry her fiancé waiting for her back in New York, or does the town of Beacon draw her in as she makes more and more discoveries about her grandmother?

I highly recommend this charming story that you won’t want to put down until you find out what Ellen is going to do with all her learnings. Learnings about her Grandmother’s life and what she discovers about her own.

I give this book an A!
