Larkspur Cove by Lisa Wingate

4.0

This story is told by both Andrea and Mart, from each character's perspective. We also get to experience the building of their relationship, tearing down walls they've put up around themselves, and learning to trust (and love), as they put together pieces to solve the mystery of the little girl seen with the local war-damaged recluse. The story draws us into the small town of Moses Lake where we get to meet the residents and learn more about their lives and the strength of their little community. It does a great job of making you pine for idyllic small town life amidst unspoiled nature! While this whole series is chock-full of wonderful quotes and nuggets to ponder (thanks to the wall of wisdom at the local bait shop/cafe!), this is one I need to remember in my daily life, "Joy, I realized, isn't so much a circumstance you find yourself in but a choice you make."
