About this ebook

"Will capture your heart... a delightful mix of love, history, and redemption." - Reviewer

Wrested back to Cabarita Beach by her grandmother's sudden death, Kate Summer discovers a mystery buried in the past that changes everything.

Kate returns home to the sleepy hamlet of Cabarita Beach and the run-down Waratah Inn for her grandmother’s funeral. She spent many happy childhood years at the inn, but all she wants to do now is sell the dilapidated boutique inn and head back to the city and her busy, professional life. But she and her two estranged sisters discover they've inherited the inn together. To sell, they need all three sisters to agree to the sale.

Soon, her carefully constructed life begins to unravel and Kate decides to stay in Cabarita Beach to renovate the elegant, old building. Despite her misgivings about reviving the crumbling structure, she quickly becomes consumed with crown moulding, history and an attractive horse wrangler she can't seem to ignore.

When she discovers a clue to a mystery from the past in her grandmother's things, she'll be drawn down a path that raises more questions than answers. Piece-by-piece she and her sisters will uncover the secret former life of their beloved grandmother. A life of love, intrigue, and loss. A life they never knew she had.

An opportunity to sell the Inn pushes them to make a choice: commit to the Waratah Inn and family, or walk away from the Inn and each other, back to their separate and isolated lives.

The first book in a continuing series of four. Binge the entire series today.

For fans of Debbie Macomber, Carolyn Brown, Danielle Steele, Grace Greene, and Pamela Kelley.

NB. Includes a discussion guide and recipes.

The Waratah Inn is a complex, emotional family saga. The sisters are each quite complex. We learn more about Kate than anyone else in this book. We also begin to learn the grandmother's story. The wonderful story is told in present (1995-1996) time and flash backs to World War II. This book quickly grabbed my attention and would not let me go. I enjoyed the saga and the complex, well drawn characters.

I didn't want this book to end, I wish Waratah Inn was a real place because I would visit it although I did Google Cabarita Beach and it looks amazing. I will definitely be reading the rest of this series.
