Saving Sandcastles (Lobster Bay Book 1)

Saving Sandcastles is the first book in the Lobster Bay series, a work of small-town women's fiction centered on friendship, found family, and starting over. Claire Turner has rebuilt her life after divorce with a beachside bungalow, a thriving bakery called Sandcastles, and two close friends. When a rival café opens across the street, her newly stable life is threatened. Jane manages the family inn while caring for her mother, whose dementia is worsening, and faces a difficult decision when her daughter Addie wanders off. Maxi, who appears to have everything, confronts an empty nest, a distant marriage, and long-suppressed dreams. These three women navigate interconnected challenges in their small beach town as they pursue second chances. Each book in the series can be read independently with no cliffhanger endings, though recurring characters appear throughout and reading from the beginning provides fuller character development.
