Sea Glass Sisters by Lisa WingateI first wanted to read this book after reading The Prayer Box by the author and the fact I love sea glass..Elizabeth is a 911 operator and she raises with her husband two high school kids, one boy, one girl and both are graudating this year.Her mother who live clsoeby is up in arms about the family compound and how her sister wants to sell parts of it rather than leave it for the families and generations down the road.This hits home with me as some of my family wants to do the same thing. After the really bad night at work with nightmares abound she leaves with her mother from Michigan to drive to NC on the outer banks to try to persuade her sister.Elizabeth is kept abreast of things happening at home with the missing child and her kids and husband and news of the hurricane approaching an her aunt's bad health. They batten down the hatches and help others in the town with chores so they will remain safe. One visit is to the 90 year old Iola Anne who also appears in The Prayer Box=a book by the same author.Love that this woman has a jewelry/seashell shop near the ferry, on the ocean with sand dunes and the feeling of community as they all gather. Love the idea of the hurricane party-we usually have them after to use up food that will spoil.She is trying to believe in God again to help her get through the work crises and the hurricane.Miracles can happen ...Excerpt from The Prayer Box is included.I received this book from Net Galley, Tyndale House Publishers  via JKS Communications in exchange for my honest review.
