Seaside Sunshine

 I picked up Seaside Sunshine at the Winona Public Library. I didn't know it at the time but this is the sixth in a series of nine novels by Kay Corell. Darlene runs an bed and breakfast on a seaside home on an island in North Carolina. She was abandoned by her young husband before she gave birth so she worked hard to raise her son. Now her granddaughter is helping her run the bed and breakfast. In comes a new customer to the bed and breakfast. Mark comes here to get away from his grief filled like at home. His wife died two years ago. So far he hasn't been able to move any of her things. Her coffee cup is still on the kitchen counter. Her toothbrush is in the bathroom. Mark has not been able to write since she died; not a single word. His editor is putting pressure on him to write the next book. He hopes living in this bed and breakfast will help him escape the writer's block that is crippling him. Staying here with Darlene does help him start writing. Darlene's kind friendship helps as well. This is a cute story. I suppose it would be considered women's fiction but I liked it.
