The Cottage at Glass Beach by Heather Barbieri

Okay, so now we're getting into summer weather. Hot days at the beach or lounging around in the backyard, catching a snooze or a good read. This is just the book for doing either. Nora Cunningham escapes to the family cottage on the beach with her two daughters in tow. She is leaving her comfortable home which she shared with her husband who has just revealed to her and his constituency that he is seeking "greener pastures". She stayed at the cottage as a little girl but has not been back for many years. Her visit brings forth old memories and the discovery of new ideas as to where her future will lead her. Barbieri's description of the beach, the sand and the water, transport the reader to an oasis in the mind. Although the story itself is not remarkable, the setting is a pleasant respite. Ladybookbug!
