The path to Sunshine Cove

Thayne (The Sea Glass Cottage, 2020) seems to get better with every book in the Cape Sanctuary series. Military veteran Jess Clayton, now a partner in a business that helps folks organize their homes, arrives in Cape Sanctuary not only to help Eleanor Whitaker sort through a multigenerational accumulation but also to see her sister, Rachel, and her family. Jess and Rachel had been very close while growing up under terrible circumstances. Jess enjoys the setting of the Whitaker home on a cliff overlooking the ocean and a secluded cove, where Eleanor's widowed son, Nate, also a veteran, is living with his teenage daughter. Rachel, an Instagram celebrity, is struggling with maintaining homemaking perfection while her husband works long hours and she cares for their three young children, including one with autism. Jess loves moving from place to place in her beloved Airstream, helping people clean up their lives, but she finds herself increasingly drawn to Nate and Cape Sanctuary. Thayne is a master at creating richly dimensional and kind characters from different generations who find themselves facing difficult challenges.
