About Me

My photo
Mysteries, polka dots, California Rolls, TJ Maxx, cozy blankets, rainy days and getting the first spoonful of peanut butter out of the jar make me smile. Spiders, rude people, cold fingers and toes, baby leashes, people that don't wrap their packages before going to the Post Office, poison ivy and Math (pretty much all of it) make me want to scream. My perfect day would be spent with my wonderful husband and sweet girls- watching movies in our jammies! Of course, having the movie theater to ourselves would be great, too. Please pass the popcorn and M&M's.:) I am saved by the grace of God. He is my constant companion and hears my every prayer. What a blessing! I'd love to hear from you!

Postcards from Misty Harbor Inn series by Evangeline Kelley


My Thoughts:


I felt like I was on a dream vacation while reading these books!  Beginning with Seaside Harmony, I found myself in Nantucket, meeting three lovely sisters who discover an old, forgotten inn that overlooks the sea.  There are overgrown flowers everywhere, secrets just waiting to be uncovered and a mystery involving a young lady that suspiciously disappeared years ago.  Do I have your attention yet?:)  This series has everything I love!  If I were a writer, this is the kind of story I would love to tell.  Sisters, secrets, a stunning bed and breakfast and even a bit of romance.  Sunflower Summer continues the delightful story of Caroline, Gracie and Sam.  Misty Harbor Inn has been restored to it's glory and clues are slowly being uncovered in the mystery of Hannah Montague, the young widow of the original owner of the inn.  I don't want to tell you too much as I want you to read and discover for yourself!  I can't wait to share these books with my friends and family.  Taking a vacation while simply reading a book is something we all can enjoy.:)

Postcards from Misty Harbor Inn is a delightful series of books that include Seaside Harmony, Sunflower Summer and (soon to be released this summer!  I can't wait!!) Whispers from the Dock.


More about the books:

The Postcards from Misty Harbor Inn series (Guideposts Books) introduces readers to Caroline, Gracie and Sam as they gather for a vacation where they spent the summers as children, and follows their adventures as they fulfill their mother's dream of opening a bed and breakfast. As the sisters heal from their mother's passing, they bond in ways they never imagined and discover evidence of God's hand in the unlikeliest of circumstances.

A team of four authors come together under the pen name of Evangeline Kelley to bring the unique personalities of each sister to vivid life and welcome audiences to the charming and historic island of Nantucket, complete with cobblestone streets, quaint shops, ferries, sandy beaches and salty air.

Seaside Harmony:

Three sisters, a charming inn, hints of mystery and romance, and a gorgeous seaside setting. Summer reading at its finest!

When Caroline Marris joins her sisters, Gracie Gold and Sam Carter for a Nantucket Island getaway, she has no idea how it will change her life. The sisters stumble upon Misty Harbor Inn, the place their late mother loved so much, and Caroline talks her sisters into buying the beautiful but dilapidated inn. But can free-spirited Caroline stay focused enough to make opening the inn a reality? Hand-drawn old postcards draw the sisters into the mystery of Hannah Montague, the young widow of the original owner. Can the sisters uncover the fate of this woman who disappeared in 1880? As Caroline and her sisters work together to make their mom's dream a reality, they bond in ways they never expected.

Sunflower Summer:

Misty Harbor Inn officially opens, and Gracie Gold, the middle Marris sister, wrestles with an overwhelming decision. As the sisters learn the day-to-day workings of running an inn, Gracie counsels its first guests, newlyweds whose honeymoon seems to be ending before it begins. Meanwhile, Sam's discovery of a clue in a secret room sheds unflattering light on Hannah Montague, who vanished from the house more than one hundred years ago. And as Gracie and Caroline welcome guests to the inn, they are delighted to see how God uses it --- and them --- to deepen relationships and transform lives.
