On Ocean Boulevard

On Ocean Boulevard by Mary Alice Monroe

With a bruised ego, broken love affair, and
two suitcases containing all her worldly possessions,
Linnea Rutledge returns home to The Lowcountry
of South Carolina, a place where soft, ocean breezes,
sizzling days, and starlit nights, spell new beginnings.

Linnea's first stop is a visit to Primrose Cottage on
Sullivan's Island to see her Aunt Cara, a woman she's
admired since she was a child. Finding unexpected love
later in life, Cara was then tragically widowed, adopted a
child, and forged a remarkable career with her usual grit
and determination. Linnea needs the advice and guidance
only her Aunt can give, now more than ever.

Both women are about to embark on a summer of
discovery. Cara, now engaged to the dashing,
wealthy David Wyatt, is planning a lavish wedding that
her friends and family want far more than she does.
And Linnea, longing for a purpose in life after experiencing
disappointment and failure, dares to dream of romance
with a man who seems to fulfill her every need.

A season of turmoil and upheaval lies ahead. The cruel reality
of dementia torments a cherished neighbor as dear acquaintances
watch her slip away, and a serious, life-threatening illness
threatens to tear apart a blended family.

The author, true to form, includes research about environmental
issues facing our world with insight and compassion, this time
shedding light on the frightening statistics about plastics in our oceans.
Fascinating facts about the amazing journey and survival of sea turtles,
blends itself gracefully into a story of awakening and starting over.

Mary Alice Monroe envelopes her readers in a soothing, captivating
story about self-reflection, budding romance, forgiveness, and precious
memories, all centered around characters her faithful fans know
and love, and her new readers will come to embrace.

A lovely addition to Monroe's Beach House Series, this soon-to-be-released
novel leaves open all sorts of possibilities about what the future
holds for the next generation of the indestructible, Rutledge women.
