This engaging book tells several stories at once, and Yttrup elegantly switches between the different characters’ perspectives and stories.
Bathed in Prayer
Bathed in Prayer is a standalone book that brings prayers from the Mitford series together under one cover.
Miss Julia Throws a Wedding
As Miss Julia’s plans to host a simple wedding morph out of control, one near-catastrophe after another adds to the building tension. Truly, Miss Julia is “throwing” a wedding.
Summer at the Garden Cafe
A subtle theme in Summer At The Garden Café is how objects retain value in direct relation to what they are remembered for. Another theme is how relationships change as we grow.
Paradise Series
Why have I combined all three books of Elin Hilderbrand’s Paradise series into one review? Because friends don’t let friends read the Paradise trilogy out of order!
Invisible
Invisible follows the lives of four characters in a small town in Mendocino Valley, California, as they interact with each other and work through difficulties. The struggle to feel worthy is a running theme, and readers may find it hitting home in unexpected ways.
On Ocean Boulevard
In the series’ previous books, the plight of loggerhead sea turtles is highlighted. In On Ocean Boulevard, a new educational angle about destructive microplastics emerges.
Beach House Reunion
In Beach House Reunion, fifty-three-year-old Cara Rutledge returns to the Isle of Palms with a new career, deeper inner strength, and a surprising special someone–but her brother and his family find themselves in a situation that is spiraling out of control.
Beach House For Rent
In Beach House for Rent, the series’ pillar, Cara Rutledge, rents out her quaint beach house on Isle of Palms to new resident Heather Wyatt. But just when Cara is turning fifty years old, tragedy strikes.
