#33: Sweet Tomorrows by Debbie Macomber

Sweet Tomorrows is the latest book in the Rose Harbor series written by romance novelist Debbie Macomber.  The series was started in response to readers who were saddened that Macomber had finished her Cedar Cove series and who longed to hear more about the residents of Cedar Cove.  Macomber then created Jo Marie Rose, owner and proprietor of the Rose Harbor Inn, a place where people come to find solace and to get questions answered.  Not that Jo Marie promises any of this to her guests, there's just something special about the Rose Harbor Inn and people leave feeling comforted and ready to head back to life.

This installation of the series focuses on Jo Marie herself (she isn't typically a main character in the books) and a guest named Emily.  Jo Marie is waiting to hear about her love, Mark Taylor, as he participates in a top secret military mission overseas.  Emily is trying to figure out her life after two broken engagements.  Both women learn not only to rely on each other for support but also to help each other as they both search for answers as they try to move forward with their lives.

I love this series of books.  I was skeptical at first because the entire story line of this new series seemed to be so depressing.  It's not.  The stories are actually quite heartwarming and inspirational.
I just don't like having to wait an entire year before getting the next part of the story! :(  It's always worth the wait in the end, but the waiting is never any fun!

Happy reading, everyone!
