"Single mom Heather Donovan's dreams of home and family are tantalizingly within reach when she settles in Chesapeake Shores. The welcoming arms of the boisterous, loving O'Brien clan embrace her and her son. But accepting their support seems to further alienate her son's father, Connor O'Brien. His parents' divorce and his career as a high-powered divorce attorney have left him jaded about marriage.

Then everything changes. Will the possibility of a future without Heather make Connor look at love and his career differently? Heather's just about given up on her old dreams—of love, of family and especially of Driftwood Cottage, the home she secretly wishes were hers. It's going to take a lot of persuasion—and some help from the O'Brien family—to make Heather believe that some dreams are worth fighting for."

Another in a series of friendly, enjoyable, family oriented books from Sherryl Woods. I love her settings including her orientation on the small town, friend and 'everybody knows your business' people. Her characters are people who believe in each other, ambitions, goals and foibles rolled into one. The solutions of how they change are to trite, but the people feel like neighbors and friends. They are not pretentious or out to mislead or striving to be what they are not. I frequently find myself thinking of them and wondering what they would do in a given situation. Most of the time, the answer will be 'Get on with it.' and I like that.
