Through the setting of a beach house on the California coast, Georgia Bockoven knits the stories of several unique and interesting characters. Through each of them she offers glimpses of love in its many and various stages -- young, middle age, older; won, lost, recovered; beginning, ending, beginning again. Each character experiences their own love in their own unique way and yet every reader should be able to sympathize, empathize and relate to what each character is going through. Do not expect a tidy "they lived happily ever after" ending, however. With some of the situations, Bockoven leaves the reader to fill in their futures and with others she closes the final chapter. Regardless, th result is a book that opens hearts and minds of all ages and experiences to the power of love and stories of love.
