Faith’s life has been turned upside down, and she’s not at all sure that’s a good thing . . .
With Jen and Carrie at the beach full time, it’s gotten harder by the week for Faith to return to her job inland as a new life has been unfolding for her at the beach on the weekends. Her part time job at the boutique has taken more and more of her time as the owner becomes increasingly scarce. Her daughter, Maggy, has been visiting more frequently, with all the ups and downs that brings. Jen’s son, Max, has been spending time in Newport as well, and Faith still holds out hope that Maggy and Max might end up together.
Jen wants the same, and the three friends do their best to throw the two together-not always with welcome results.
Carrie’s new relationship with Bethany requires a bit more from all three friends than they’d anticipated, but they’re up for the challenge. A road trip is in order, and by the time they return home, everything has changed.
Visit Newport Beach and sit on the deck for a while, watch the sunrise and enjoy one of Nana’s muffins.

It took only one summer to save a beach house and turn Carrie’s perfectly planned life upside down.
It took Jen and her best friends Carrie and Faith all summer to save the beach house. And none of them could have realized how much it would change their lives.
Jen’s making a new life for herself in Newport, facing new challenges and new relationships. The beginning of the school year calls Faith back to her kindergarten classroom while she tries to juggle that and her job at the boutique.
But Carrie-Carrie’s life is about to be turned completely upside down when the stepdaughter she thought she’d lost forever turns up on her doorstep. And as she navigates life with a teenager and her own mother is no help at all, she counts her blessings that she has Faith and Jen to help her through in this heart-warming story about mothers, daughters, and all the joys and challenges that go with them.
Stop by the Newport Harbor House in sunny southern California, have one of Nana’s muffins, and catch up on what’s happening.

Widow Jen Watson’s grown boys are on their own, and she’s looking forward to having a blissful summer at the family beach house with her lifelong best friends, for the first time in years-until she finds out her family has been scheming to sell it.
Just the thought of losing her late grandmother’s home and all the memories it holds makes her head spin, even though it needs quite a bit more fixing up than her family is willing to do. But Jen and her best friends will do just about anything to keep the house in the family. Especially when a long lost friend comes back into Jen’s life, one who’d meant a great deal to her long, long ago.
With friends both old and new, they decide to take on the work themselves in between long walks on the beach, watching spectacular sunsets during happy hours on the deck, and wiggling their toes in the sand. They are determined to show the rest of the family that selling is a mistake, and that Nana’s house should be restored and kept in the family. And they’ll do just about anything to make sure that happens.
Cozy up for this heart-warming series, where the bonds of friends and family run deep.
