About this listen

When Eliza Whitney loses both her beloved husband and her high-powered job in the same month, she’s uncertain what the next chapter of her life will look like.

At 53, she’s too young to retire and too old to start over. Then her estranged father’s widow contacts her and asks her to come to Sanibel Island to help settle his affairs. Eliza sees the trip to a place called Shellseeker Beach as a distraction from her loss and maybe a way to get some closure on the difficult relationship she'd had with her father.

For 70 years, Theodora Blessing’s sole purpose on this earth has been to heal the hurting, and to run Shellseeker Cottages, a cozy beachfront resort that has been in her family for decades. But Teddy no longer owns the gorgeous property, and Eliza is her only hope to get it back. Will Eliza help Teddy and save the family business...or claim it as her own and sell it to developers?

Together, the two women begin to unravel the mystery of Eliza’s father, the late, great “Dutch” Vanderveen, an enigmatic pilot who led multiple, secretive lives. With the help of Teddy’s healing heart, Eliza discovers a family she never knew she had, a purpose she never knew she needed, and a life she never dreamed was possible.

Come to Shellseeker Beach and fall in love with a cast of unforgettable characters who face life's challenges with humor, heart, and hope. For lovers of riveting and inspirational sagas about sisters, secrets, romance, mothers and daughters...and the moments that make life worth living.

The true tranquility of the island

My husband and I have been to Sanibel three times. it is our favorite place to vacation. I loved reading about all the places we go to while we are there. the story line was so realistic. All the twists and turns really brought me into the story. I can't wait to read the next one.

Whisked me away!

I really enjoyed this easy beach read. The setting brings you right in and the story lines keep you interested in finding out what’s next. I’m hooked and can’t wait to dive into the next book. Beach book readers put this on your TBR!

I love the Narrator!

The story is not something I usually try and get involved in, a series in general is not usually my cup of tea. I am going to give the next book a try and see if this is something I can get into more. just seems like the typical wish I could move away and start somewhere fresh story.

The new age attitudes of the central character stood out the most and for this Evangelical Christian was a serious eye-roll.

I liked the ending with a predictable conclusion, however the narration was so annoyingly breathy and never let up almost made me turn it off.

Good character development of Teddie and Olivia.

Somewhat sappy and cheesy. Condescending characterization, almost childish style. The last 6 or 7 chapters were the best plot development. I’ll probably listen to the other books. Sanibel doesn’t have a boardwalk, just lots of bike paths.

Enjoyable read

I really enjoyed this book. It had a good story and no gratuitous sex. As a matter of fact, there was a couple of budding romances, but nothing beyond that. Just a good story about the family we make for ourselves. I can't wait to read the next story!

Fluffy and Fun

Cute, innocent romance. A good “palate-cleanser” to read between more stressful books. Makes me want to move to Florida!

I like how happy they were at the end. Sometimes life throws you a curve ball and never know how life turns out. I really enjoyed listening to this book. The people perform did a great job narrative this story
