The Seaside Homecoming

On Devonshire Shores, Book 3

By: Julie Klassen

Narrated by: Elizabeth Jasicki

A SURPRISE HOMECOMING TESTS THE BONDS OF SISTERHOOD AS A HIDDEN PAST COMES TO LIGHT. …

Disgraced eldest sister Claire Summers has been living in exile as companion to a stern great-aunt in Scotland. About to lose her place and longing to be reconciled with her estranged family, Claire sees an advertisement from someone looking for a “respectable female partner” in a Sidmouth boarding house. Is it a sign? She answers the ad, hoping she has not made another reckless mistake. When she meets the handsome, secretive proprietor, she wonders what he’s hiding and if he’s any more trustworthy than the nobleman who betrayed her years ago. Claire is drawn to him even though she fears he will reject her when he discovers her genteel façade hides a less-than-respectable past.

Meanwhile, the Summers family learns their great-aunt has died and Claire has disappeared without a word. The sisters rally together to find their lost sibling, but will their unexpected reunion heal old wounds and rekindle their bonds … or deepen the divide?

Return to the captivating Devonshire coast as the Summers sisters navigate romance, second chances, and the enduring strength of sisterhood in the face of adversity.

The message of faith

It broke my heart the way Claire felt she “was not worthy”, but the message of God’s love and forgiveness was profound.

Excellent story

As always the story if loaded with interesting characters and history of the time Period I appreciate reading an interesting Christian story.

So beautifully written

A poignant warm and rich story full of wonderful characters, repairing of relationships, love and community. I cried a few times with just how heartwarming some of the interactions were between the sisters.

Fantastic narration & story!

Such a heartwarming and satisfying read (minus not getting Sarah's story ending...alas we have to wait until the end of 2025 to hear that).

Enjoyable continuation of the series

I enjoyed this continuation of the Sea View series. Klassen and the narrator handled the vast cast of characters well.
