This short story is the prequel to a new series by Lisa Wingate and while I enjoyed it, I think it would have been better had it been a full-length novel. However, I felt sorry for the guilt Elizabeth was feeling after she took the 911 call and sent the dispatchers to the wrong location. Elizabeth, her mother, Sharon, and Aunt Sandy all have their issues to deal with which many people will be able to relate to. As the the three women ride out a hurricane together their relationship with each other solidifies and they come to realise what is important in life. A sweet read. ( ) This is a novella by Lisa Wingate that is a prelude to a longer novel, "The Prayer Box". The main protagonist, Elizabeth Gallagher, is feeling disconnected from her family due to a recent case she has been involved with as a 911 operator. Combined with that it feels as if her family is more separate from her than ever before. Taking a car trip with her mother to visit her aunt on Hatteras Island in North Carloina leads to unexpected revelations on what she should do next. I really did love this novella and really felt for the character of Elizabeth. While Ms. Wingate slowly leads up to what is going on with Elizabeth's work life and how that is coinciding with her feeling adrift from her children and husband I really felt for her. Though we do get to know more about her mother and aunt I thought her husband was not as well fleshed out. That is probably due to the fact at this point in time she is interacting with her husband via phone calls or texts. Also the ending with Elizabeth managing to "save" someone in order to make up for what she had lost I thought was a little bit schmaltzy. I still plan on reading "The Prayer Box" and hope to find out if Elizabeth dig get set on her new path or not. The Sea Glass Sisters The more time that passes before it happens, the better. ~First line This story captured me quickly. The opening scene is filled with urgency and there is an electricity in the air during the 911 call and search for Emily. Elizabeth Gallagher is an interesting character and easy to sympathize with. And her mother, Sharon, and Aunt Sandy add so much to the story. The East Coast setting in North Carolina, is a character on its own. The hurricane gives an ominous feel rather than a sunny beach atmosphere. I experienced so many emotions and was fully immersed in the Outer Banks sea air, and enjoyed getting to know these characters, Sandy’s Sea Shell Shop, and the family ties and dynamics. The Sea Glass Sisters is a stirring story sharing the importance of family and faith while we weather life’s storms. Every decision you make in life has benefits and consequences. Sometimes you just have to go on faith, and even that comes at a price. It means you have to give up the idea that you’re the one in charge of the universe. ~Quote from The Sea Glass Sisters nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Elizabeth Gallagher has been balancing on the ragged edge for a while now. Then a rough case on the boards of her 911 operator's job collides with a family conflict at home, and Elizabeth finds herself finally coming apart at the seams. A four-state road trip-trapped in a car with her mother-is the last thing she needs. Their destination may be beautiful Hatteras Island, but the reason for going is anything but pleasant. After one disastrous hurricane, and with a second one working its way up the coast, it's time to convince Aunt Sandy to abandon her little seaside store on North Carolina's Outer Banks and return to the family fold in Michigan. But when the storm sweeps through, the three women will discover that sisterhood and the sea can change hearts, lives, and futures...often in the most unpredictable of ways.
