Heart warming read

A story of hardship and love that conquers challenge. The word pictures make the story come to life. I laughed and cried, sometimes at the same time.

Finding peace at Peace Cottage

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2017

Verified Purchase

The story is about a recently widowed mother of two teenage daughters working her way through the grief of losing her husband and finding a way to help her children do the same. Her small town, family, church and community condemns her and the girls for a decision they made on behalf of her husband's wishes. In an effort to heal, they run away and find themselves in another state where they can begin to build a new life without the husband and father they so dearly loved. I enjoyed reading this book. It is well written and one can't help but sympathize with and like this family. The only fault I had with it is that at times everything seemed too idyllic. I am a widow and I know grief can be messy and your children can rebel and fightback as they grieve and adjust to the new family dynamics. As I read it I often thought it reminded me of Facebook posts where your friends seem to have better vacations, better behaved children and their recipes never fail. But overall it was a delightful feel-good story and I would read another book by this author just for the escapism from my somewhat messy life.

Comforting and encouraging

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2014

Verified Purchase

This is a well thought out book of coping with the unexpected in life. It guides a person into how to make the best of a tough situation - how to pick up the pieces of ones life and rebuild. I loved the characters of Lucy, the Mom and new widow and her teenage daughters with whom she had a warm and loving relationship.

The description of how they turned their abandoned cabin in the woods of Maine into a comfortable place in which to heal was a dream come true for them and for me. Lucy's seemingly unlimited resources and good budgeting skills gave me a thrill as I vicariously shopped for things for the cabin and helped to make it a dream place. Lucy's grief over the death of her husband was poignant but not debilitating. Her relationships with Jack, the cabin's owner showed a willingness to be open once again to love.

This was a good book to travel with, a fun read but not frivolous. Lisa Kent is a new author who warrants paying attention to.

Finding Hope And Peace After Great Loss

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2015

Verified Purchase

This series must be read in order. This is the first book. I can't wait to read the next one!

Lucy and her girls have experienced great loss. The betrayal and shunning by their family, church, community and friends led them to sell everything (just about) so they could find a new start somewhere else. Somewhere healthier for them. Finding Jack and the cottage seemed too good to be true... Even if it was a disgusting mess they would be hard pressed to resolve! Will they learn to live again? Will they heal from their devastating loss? Will the cottage in the woods become their new home?

***This series is suitable for mature young adult through adult readers who enjoy sentimental journeys of hope breaking through the pain of loss and poignant second chance romances :)

I recommend reading it with a cozy blanket

Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2015

Peace Cottage is as peaceful as it's name suggests. I recommend reading it with a cozy blanket, preferably in front of the fireplace with a hot cup of coffee. From the beginning it filled me with warmth and I found myself smiling during most of the novel. Lucy is mom to two teenage daughters that pick up their life and move to a cottage in the middle of nowhere. With nothing but woods surrounding them and a nice hike just to reach the road they start fresh. It make me want to go hiking, camping, or just move out to a cabin in the woods myself.

This was,an unusual story. Lucy and the girls were recovering from the loss of their father who had been a great man. Moving into the cottage gave them a place,to heal. Jack was a
Most unusual landlord as well as a talented builder. Their connection was unusual luckily Lucy and the girls,were able to reconnect to the family they had left behind. Gave it 5 stars

Beautfully written story of loss, new found peace and finally....well, read it and see

I cannot fathom anyone giving this story less than a 5 star rating. The book just sucks you in and holds your interest until the end. I spent an afternoon being with Lucy and her two daughters. As the story unfolds we learn things about why the family moved away from their home in Vermont and met new friends and for Lucy a new love. At the end of the book, their is overwhelming sadness, but also peace for Lucy and the girls. Wonderful story, written so well. Thank you Lisa Kent.
