The Café at Beach End by RaeAnne Thayne

 💖💖💖💖💖/5

The Café at Beach End by RaeAnne Thayne is heartwarming story that will have you laughing, crying and warm your heart. This heartwarming, emotional story takes us on a journey into the lives of 

the people who knew you when life’s possibilities seemed limitless and full of hope; family members now dealing with loss, pain, distrust, regrets, healing and love. A broken family finding their way back to each other against the odds; cousins who were like sisters, disappointments that are hard to overcome, and pain that is difficult to live with. Old insecurities, jealousies and presumptions are a few of the obstacles that could prevent the cousins from a bright new life.

Ms. Thayne wrote a story that reaches the soul; the soul of her characters as well the soul of her readers.  This story had everything: close family supporting one another, heartwarming characters, heartbreaking pasts, adorable kids, second chances and friendships. Well written with a great cast of characters that draw you into the story and make you feel like a resident of Cape Sanctuary. An engrossing read about starting over, reconnecting with estranged family, finding a new purpose in a life that's not gone as expected, single parenthood, and above all, forgiveness. I highly recommend The Café at Beach End to other readers.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
