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 really enjoyed the focus on family and faith, “living life with no regrets.” A story of the loss of a loved one with sensitivity and finesse and navigating the waves of grief was inspirational.
From the first paragraph, this story compelled me to read it. As a widow myself, the connection between Joan and myself was like looking in a mirror. Beautifully written!
A very simple read which I found uninspiring…I kept waiting for an enlightening nugget, a moment of truth to dawn but it never did…
It was a go od.
Ok but not great
This book was not my style. I thought it was light reading.
This sweet and calming novel follows the path of a Pastor’s widow whose life was devoted to serving the Lord. This Christian based story, weaving in her remaining extended family, is a unique insight into a spiritual and temporal road to recovery. An excellent read!
Very predictable, like reading someone’s diary.
Story was so real. A woman trying to carry on after being widowed. A must read!
Sweet story series
Very good!
Heartwarming and so touchable I just love it
Good quick read
Too religious for me.
This is about Faith and family. I would recommend this to anyone who has lost a loved one and wonders how to go on.

Kind of boring but a good read if you’re looking for encouragement for starting over after a loss.
Loved the characters, especially Phil, even though he had passed on. Had to wipe away the tears of sadness and joy.
I hated for the book to end. I felt like the characters were so real.
Very easy read but never boring. Great story and it kept my interest.
