Dr. Laura Sims opens up her family’s joys, losses and hopes for mothers looking to understand.

Mer Harbor is a small, coastal town in Southern California. Everyone knows everyone, and nothing is a secret among Mer Harbor residents. Some hope to escape someday, while others find the charm of the town enticing, and never leave.Everley Romero and Heath Mitchell had always planned to take on the world together. To leave Mer Harbor and pursue their dreams. It all seems to crumble when a tragic loss sends them in different directions. Almost ten years later, Everley finds herself on the receiving end of a bitter divorce, leaving her no choice to return to the home - and past - she'd hoped to leave behind for good. Heath is building a good life for himself in Mer Harbor. When he crosses paths with Everley, he learns that they'll both have to face a past full of heartbreak and loss that they've both tried to bury.
This is a sweet book. It’s a romance of long-ago sweethearts
having left each other and one of them running away to get away. Now they are
both in the same town and trying to live as though they have their own new
lives which they do...sort of...
As I said this is a romance. Not particularly mt favorite
genre but it’s sweet and it has a true storyline. I suppose what I’m trying to
say is that it isn’t what I’d call a mass market style romance.
An interesting, quick, enjoyable read.
