Description: I would have of course preferred he didn't die :( :(

This is the story of twoI would have of course preferred he didn't die :( :(

This is the story of two people who met, by the help of the sea. It was the message in the bottle that drove Theresa to seek for Garret, and inevitably, she falls in love with him. A new relationship may be in the offing, if not for Garret's reluctance. The memory of his dead wife keeps getting in the way, partly because of guilt, despair and of course the promise of undying love. The story was lightly written, giving description of the beautiful sea and life in that little sea town. It makes one's heart float and smile in the course of the story then dramatically breaks your heart as the story ends. A rather tearful ending for what could be a promise of new love....

Description: Sarah Anderson, a beautiful, successful thirtysomething attorney, is having a midlife crisis.Sarah Anderson, a beautiful, successful thirtysomething attorney, is having a midlife crisis. She's become a workaholic, spending 60- to 70-hour weeks at the office, and she is involved in an unhappy relationship with a man she only sees on weekends, who refuses to involve her in any other aspect of his life. She lives in a dumpy apartment, which contains the same furniture she used in college, and she has no outside interests other than the sometime boyfriend and her job. Everything changes, however, when an eccentric, elderly client of Sarah's dies and leaves her a small fortune and a message: to use the money for something wonderful, to live well, and to think about something other than work. Following this advice, Sarah purchases the dilapidated old mansion the client had lived in (after finding out that it was her own grandfather who originally built it), breaks up with the cheating boyfriend, and focuses all of her attention on rehabbing the old house. As she works to restore the place, she finds contentment in her new pastime; a nice, normal boyfriend in the architect who is helping her; and familial contentment as both her mother and grandmother find happiness in the purchase of this house. A typical Steel fairy tale....
