Beach Rose Path

Charlotte Templeton has lived a comfortable and safe life for the past twenty-five years as the manager of a women's pro shop on a prestigious golf course outside of Boston. She loves her job and her home, a small cottage on the grounds of the course. Although no stranger to tragedy and loss, Charlotte is devastated to learn that her near-perfect world is coming to an end as the golf course comes under new management. Duncan Kirk, reeling from the wreckage of a personal disaster, finds himself in a place he thought he would never return--his hometown of Lobster Claw, Maine. Charlotte's and Duncan's worlds converge during a violent nor'easter, and from that point, their lives are never the same; Charlotte questions if this little coastal town was the right move for her, and Duncan feels that his life is coming apart, and wonders if Lobster Claw will be able to put it back together? The collision of their worlds sets the stage for Charlotte and Duncan to fulfill promises and dreams and create an unexpected future.

With high hopes of rewriting the past, Rachel leaves NYC and ventures home to Cloverton for the weekend. Too bad Brandon doesn't even remember her name or their almost kiss. But there is one guy who remembers Rachel... James, the guy who never made a move. James has spent the past ten years trying to escape memories of Cloverton, as a hot shot attorney in NYC. But as the reunion progresses, Rachel realizes James might be the one for her. After they both return to NYC, fate steps in and Rachel and James's paths cross yet again. Soon they find themselves on the fast track to relationship bliss. But can their newly formed relationship withstand what life throws at them?

Whether your life is stormy with painful circumstances, drizzly with stresses and anxieties, or sunny with a sense that God is in control, The Gift of Tears invites you to experience God’s peace and presence in deeper ways. Tears are a gift. Though we long for the constant sunshine of happiness and the comfort of a stress-free life, we need the nourishing, refreshing teardrops of life lessons. Without tears, the garden of our heart becomes parched and barren. Thus, God offers us the gift of tears. In this ten-week devotional, you will journey through life stories of learning to trust God in difficult circumstances, parables from times of listening prayer, insights from contemplating God’s word, and prayer activities that inspire personal prayer and reflection. The Gift of Tears encourages you to experience tears as a blessing, not a burden, and even in life’s storms to thank God for the tears.
