Kindred Blessings

Inn at Magnolia Harbor #7

by Elizabeth Penney

As the delightful town of Magnolia Harbor, South Carolina, prepares for an upcoming pottery festival, the owners of the Magnolia Harbor Inn -- sisters Grace Porter and Charlotte Wylde -- welcome their new guests. The Prescott family arrives at the inn to meet the conditions of their grandmother's will. In another unusual twist, the siblings must complete specific tasks in order to receive their inheritance.

Amy Prescott Butler and her husband, Abel, have been drifting apart due to their demanding careers. When they're required to give up their cell phones and take pottery lessons per a stipulation in the will, their paths diverge even more. Will Amy and Abel find a way to bridge the gap between them before it's too late?

Savannah Prescott is a fashion influencer striving to land a job with a top designer. But she's forced to put her career on hold when she's assigned to work at a local organic farm. Then Savannah gets an exciting opportunity, and she must choose between following her ambitions or her heart.

Architect Dylan Prescott normally builds million-dollar houses, but now he's tasked with reconstructing a more modest home. As Dylan lends a hand to the project, he questions whether his current lifestyle needs to be repaired as well.

While Amy, Savannah, and Dylan complete their grandmother's assignments, they discover their unique family heritage and surprising truths. Will their stay at the Magnolia Harbor Inn help them find the courage to transform their lives and accept their kindred blessings?

Another delightful read from the Annie series -Inn at Magnolia Harbor Inn... Totally taken by this series, wanting grab the next book, anxiously awaiting it’s arrival, and the desire to devour it in a matter of a few days. Always wondering what characters are now entrenched in Grace’s and Charlotte’s Inn at Magnolia Harbor... what Winston, their dog, will be getting into, and what wonderful story lines the book will deliver. Totally well worth the path of seasonal colors that whirl by you if you are caught snoozing on you shift... cannot wait for the next book. Angel looked it over but then she thought it was something to go over with the girls in a different light... interactions of bring a family together.

I truly enjoyed this story line....about 3 siblings, that their grandmother is trying to reconnect with through her lawyer and a death. So powerful to watch as each sibling takes their own personal journey to enlightenment through their grandmother's last wishes. Yet, the mystery unravels as you get to the end. Wait for it...BAM, your there.
