Lost and Found in Sea Isle City

by Jeanine McGee

Have You Ever Lost Someone Close To Your Heart? Jane Harper never understood why her husband was taken from her at such an early age. But is anyone ever really ready for death? Jane was not ready to say goodbye that evening in the hospital, knowing that the life she once knew would be gone forever. Day after day, thoughts of Jimmy lingered in her mind. Two years after his passing, Jane finds herself somewhere between hurting and healing. Still living in a house that was once filled with so much love was now empty and cold. All that was left were the memories that hung on the walls and their unfinished to-do list. Jimmy was her best friend and learning how to live without him was the most difficult experience of her life. Being on a family vacation in Sea Isle City, NJ helps Jane realize that you can't live in the past, but sometimes the past helps you to remember how to live again. Jane reminisces with her family and friends about all of those memorable days and nights. Those endless summer nights are what led her to Jimmy: the best souvenir one could ask for. Jane is torn between holding on to a life that she once knew and searching for a sense of hope within herself. Jane cherishes those memories made with her girlfriends and longs to find the girl that she once was. Making new memories, with new friends along the way, will she find a second chance at happiness?

I really enjoyed reading this book. It's the story of a woman losing her husband early on and having to mourn and completely rethink her life and how she wants to live it. The book is written in the first person so we get to know exactly what Jane is thinking on her journey. I think this made the book so much better for this type of story. Each page brings us change and growth.

This is a wonderful, thoughtful story of faith that I would recommend to any reader. It's heart-wrenching at times and hear-filling at others.

This is an author I would like to hear more from.

Nice story, but the writing is redundant. So glad she finally pulled herself out of her sorrow. I love Sea Isle myself so I was curious to read this book. If I read Jimmy one more time I was going to scream. The end came together nicely.
