The Newport Harbor House

Jen Watson can't believe this trip might be her last at the family beach house in Newport. She finally has a summer all to herself with her kids grown and gone and she's been waiting for this for decades--she's earned it after raising two boys on her own. Now that she's an empty-nester, the summer is a long stretch of a little bit of work and a lot of fun with her two best friends. They've all raised their kids on the beach, taught them how to swim in the harbor and made sandcastles until well after the sun set. And now it's their turn. A summer project of fixing up the old house sounds fun until things go south. Peeling paint is one thing, but the house is old and needs a little more than just a patch here and there. The rest of the family doesn't want to sink money into any repairs, and Jen and her friends put their heads together to come up with a plan.Faith is teaching summer school and Carrie has her own clinic, but they're ready with hammers, nails and paintbrushes to do what's needed to keep the house in the family--and create even more memories, no matter what it takes.Newport Harbor House is book one on the Newport Beach series, a heart-warming series set in Newport Beach where the bonds of family and friends run deep.
