Six strangers. One crumbling inn. A year to heal the past—or lose everything.
Ida Grayson is dying. Her body is failing, but her heart still aches for the children she lost along the way. Not to death, but to distance, resentment, and her own mistakes. The Stillwater Inn, her grandparents' beloved legacy, sits empty and decaying, a monument to dreams deferred and love misunderstood.
In her final months, Ida writes letters. Her two beloved children, her two stepchildren who never forgave her for trying to be their mother, a ferry worker who became her closest friend, and a stranger none of the others know. These six she names as her heirs to make things right.
However, her will demands the impossible. Live together. Restore the inn. Become a family. But some wounds run deeper than the Pacific, and some secrets refuse to stay buried. Can six strangers bound by one woman's dying wish find forgiveness, or will the inn crumble along with Ida's last hope?
Discover the first book in the Stillwater Inn Series, an emotional family drama set in the world of Hometown Harbor. Harbor Dreams is a bittersweet story of second chances, found family, and the home that holds us together when nothing else can.
Genre: General Fiction
