Captiva Home
Some journeys bring you home. Others show you where home has always been.
When Beth Wheeler goes into labor with twins, the entire Wheeler family drops everything to be by her side. From Captiva Island to a Massachusetts farm, three generations gather to welcome the newest family members and to say goodbye to the house that shaped them all.
As Maggie Wheeler Moretti watches her children rally around Beth, she faces a bittersweet clearing out the Andover home where she raised five children, weathered betrayal, and ultimately found the strength to start over. With her mother's RV parked in the driveway and memories waiting in every room, Maggie must decide what to keep, what to release, and what it truly means to let go.
Meanwhile, Emily Wheeler, the half-sister who never quite fit anywhere, finds purpose in Beth's orchard and discovers that belonging isn't about sharing a past. It's about being brave enough to build a future, and allowing those who love you to share your journey.
And when Christopher and Becca stumble upon a rundown waterfront property on Captiva Island, a secret from Crawford's past turns an impossible dream into a new beginning, proving that kindness, once given, has a way of coming home.
From a farmhouse nursery to a waterfront fixer-upper, from attic boxes full of secrets to an RV road trip filled with laughter and wisdom, Captiva Home is a story about the places we come from, the families we choose, and the courage it takes to embrace new beginnings.

Not my cup of tea.
But I was determined to finish it. The descriptive landscapes were nice. I’m sad to say the repetition of the exact same words throughout the book drove me crazy. And I had a hard time reading the saccharine sweet plot.

Still one of my favorites series.
Another touching story of a family with love and loss. I have read all 18 of them and so happy to know there will be 3 more. Annie, thanks so much. You are one of my favorite authors.

Great story
Great read! Makes you feel like part of the story. I highly recommend reading this series. The only thing sad is having to wait until the next books come out!
