Sunrise by the sea

Best-selling author Colgan brings readers back to the sleepy seaside town of Mount Polbearne in the latest in her popular Little Beach Street Bakery series (after Christmas at Little Beach Street Bakery, 2016). Marisa Rossi is heartbroken over the death of her grandfather, whose sudden passing leaves a gaping hole in her world. Her all-consuming grief leads her to isolate herself from her friends, her family, and her job. When her roommate approaches her with an opportunity to move to the seaside town of Mount Polbearne, Marisa sees it as the perfect opportunity to escape, well, everything. As soon as she moves into her seaside flat, Marisa has no intention of leaving it. She can't, really, because her grief has manifested as agoraphobia. But over time, with the help of her therapist and her enigmatic neighbor, Marisa begins to find the strength to put one foot in front of the other. Sunrise by the Sea is an emotional, heartwarming exploration of grief and anxiety that contemporary women's fiction fans will want on their shelves.
