Driftwood Cottage

DRIFTWOOD COTTAGE                            SHERRYL WOODS
Posted: July 18, 2013

Single mom Heather Donovan's dreams of home and family are tantalizingly within reach when she settles in Chesapeake Shores. The welcoming arms of the boisterous, loving O'Brien clan embrace her and her son. But accepting their support seems to further alienate her son's father, Connor O'Brien. His parents' divorce and his career as a high-powered divorce attorney have left him jaded about marriage.Then everything changes. Will the possibility of a future without Heather make Connor look at love and his career differently? Heather's just about given up on her old dreams—of love, of family and especially of Driftwood Cottage, the home she secretly wishes were hers. It's going to take a lot of persuasion—and some help from the O'Brien family—to make Heather believe that some dreams are worth fighting for.

MY REVIEW:

This was a very intense book to read in many was. Being a child of divorce I don't take this subject lightly. I could understand where they both were coming from because I was Conner at one time but when children are involved I do understand where Heather was coming from there is a strong feeling for a mother to make sure that your child feels secure and does not feel different from the other kids.  It is hard enough with children of a divorce let along them trying to explain a different life choice that their parents chose for them. This O'Brien family can and does stick their noses in where it does not belong a lot but in this case it had to in order for Connor to confront the anger issues with his mother leaving but at the same time he had to confront the anger and the feelings there were with his father and how his mother was feeling at the time and what role his father played in that and what role he played in his role with Heather leaving. This is a must read.
