The Beach House was written by Rachel Hanna. The story revolves around Julie. Julie has two daughters in college and she is looking forward to having an empty nest with her husband of 21 years. Instead her husband comes home from work and tells her the marriage is over and his girlfriend is having a baby. Julie decides now is the time to follow her dream of living on the beach. She buys a house sight unseen. When she arrives she realizes this house needs work to be habitable. After a couple months she gets a call from a hospital in Boston. Her husband has been in a bad car crash and she needs to come to make decisions for him. For the sake of her daughters she goes to help him. There she learns that the girlfriend is not interested in taking care of a broken man. She reluctantly agrees to help him for awhile, until he is discharged from the hospital. He tries to convince her that they should stay together but he's lying. Once she figures that out she leaves him and goes back to her beach house. I was rooting for Julie to get what she wants out of life and, in the end, she does.
