Laura’s Library

The books you’ll find here feature characters who are trying to do the right thing, even if they’re missing the mark more often than they’re hitting it. Authentic women balancing grace and strength. Friends who turn up at all the right times to make us smile—and at all the wrong times to make us laugh. Stories about deeper compassion, wider friendship, and bigger untried dreams. You’ll even find a collection of books that feature the ocean as a setting, theme, or character.

What books inspire you? Let’s start a conversation about it.
