Comments from readers of the Sandy Cove Series:
Rosemary’s writing strongly reminds me of Karen Kingsbury…rich details, how well the characters are written, the complex story lines…
Poignant. Timely. Touching.
Excellent read…Rosemary Hines has the exceptional talent to bring her characters to life and etch them into your heart and mind!
Loved all the characters and was reminded of Karen Kingsbury. I felt this series surpassed Kingsbury’s!
Captivated from page one…I couldn’t put it down.
Rosemary Hines has moved into a place that ties Karen Kingsbury! Her characters and their life challenges are real.
Captured me from the first page. I felt a part of the story. I laughed, I cried.
Rosemary Hines never fails to craft a story that both glorifies God and edifies the reader.
How can an author fit so much heartfelt emotion and spiritual/godly wisdom into one story so well?
From the beginning, Rosemary Hines had me totally hooked. Finally a book with an uplifting story.
Absolutely LOVE this series!!!!
Rosemary Hines knows how to tell a story and pull at my heart strings…you can’t put down her books.

i never put the book down only when i had to .a very good read.
Thought provoking and a very good example of family dynamics and love.
Keeps your attention. Flows well
I really enjoyed this book. It was light and the characters were easy to understand. There is a lot of religious reference but not anything that put me off. It is pat of a series but can be read as a stand alone book.
Beautiful story. Well written.
Very touching book about a great love from God and husband.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! A great story of love and family!
Joan is devastated after she loses her husband. She is 86 and this is a very realistic story of the struggles seniors face when losing a spouse. Beautiful story of marital love, family love and love of God.
I’ve been married for 40 years. I can’t imagine what my life would be like without my husband. The series of events, the retelling of the past, invests the reader in what happens next. I don’t see this as a happily ever after ending. The mother’s new home and new acquaintances are a beginning, and anything could happen.
We all go through many different chapters in our lives. Ms.Hines gives us a wonderful view of later life challenges,loss ,joys and celebration through her character’s eyes.
A sweet book to read. Slow in places and somewhat predictable but a great story spanning generations dealing with loss, real situations and the subject of aging.
It was very uplifting as Joan, the new widow is cared for my her children and grandchildren. She didn’t want to be a burden, and they didn’t want her to be alone. It was beautiful to see the way it all came around to being the perfect solution for all in the family.
Very pleasant reading. Cannot wait to read the next book!
This is the second book by this author that I’ve read and I’m hooked on her writing. Stories are written as fiction but we’ve all got friends going thru these same situations in real life. I don’t normally cry over books but both books that I’ve read have brought tears. From now on I’m sitting down with a box of tissue when I read her stories. I …
This was a wonderful book. It’s part of the Sandy Cove series. I couldn’t put it down. I wanted to read how faith had played such a large part in the lives of the charscters. The strength and fortitude was great. I highly recommend the whole series. I actually did – to my pastor’s wife.
This writer writes very well . You need to get her FIRST BOOK and stay with it because each of her books get better each time !!!!
