Where The Hydrangeas Meet The Sea

By Jessica Schoettle

At forty-four, Emma Carter is learning how to begin again.

Her marriage is over, her children are grown, and after losing the father who raised her, Emma discovers a cedar box filled with photographs, letters, and clues about the mother she barely remembers.

Those clues lead her to Driftwood Bay, a charming coastal town filled with hydrangeas, harbor mornings, old friendships, and secrets that have waited decades to be uncovered.

As Emma searches for the truth about her mother, she finds unexpected family, a guarded pregnant teenager who reminds her of her own past, and Luke Bennett-a steady, kind man who never asks her to be anything but herself.

Where the Hydrangeas Meet the Sea is a warm, hopeful story of family, second chances, gentle romance, and discovering that sometimes the life waiting for you is the one you never planned.

Welcome to Driftwood Bay. Come for the summer. Stay for the people.
