Is the legend true? Could she not only be loved but married by Christmas? When Terri McMillan finds the perfect farmhouse on a salt marsh, an old dream reawakens to foster troubled teenaged girls. It's no matter the small coastal town is her distant sister's safe haven, a place where Terri is unwanted. But Terri is burnt-out on city life and the house's charm is tempting, along with the myth that the house has Christmas magic. As the legend goes, whoever moves into the homestead will not only fall in love, but will be married by Christmas. Matt Baker, the owner, wants one final Christmas in his grandparent's home before selling it. He wants to spend a last family Christmas at the homestead in exchange for free labor to restore the neglected house. He and Terri may disagree about the details of the restoration, but there's an attraction between them that neither anticipated. Things grow personal when they discover an old hat box in the attic containing letters and a diary from his grandparents during the Vietnam War. Together they discover an old family secret, the true meaning of love, and the reason behind the Christmas lore--which makes them wonder ... Could love like this still exist? The magic of Christmas just might be working.

His father’s shrimp boat is docked, his mother is working two jobs, and with finances strained, Miller is told they can’t afford the dog he desperately wants. “Your brother’s return from war is our family’s gift,” his parents tell him. But when Taylor returns with PTSD, family strains darken the holidays. Then Taylor’s service dog arrives—a large black Labrador/Great Dane named Thor. When Miller goes out on Christmas Eve with his father’s axe, determined to get his family the tree they can’t afford, he takes the dog for company—but accidentally winds up lost in the wild forest. During this emergency, the splintered family must come together and rediscover their strengths, family bond, and the true meaning of Christmas.

Waves and tides, wind and storms, sea-level rise and shore erosion: these are the forces that shape our beaches, and beach lovers of all stripes can benefit from learning more about how these coastal processes work. With animation and clarity, The Beach Book tells sunbathers why beaches widen and narrow, and helps boaters and anglers understand why tidal inlets migrate. It gives home buyers insight into erosion rates and provides natural-resource managers and interested citizens with rich information on beach nourishment and coastal-zone development. And for all of us concerned about the long-term health of our beaches, it outlines the latest scientific information on sea-level rise and introduces ways to combat not only the erosion of beaches but also the decline of other coastal habitats. The more we learn about coastline formation and maintenance, Carl Hobbs argues, the better we can appreciate and cultivate our shores. Informed by the latest research and infused with a passion for its subject, The Beach Book provides a wide-ranging introduction to the shore, and all of us who love the beach and its associated environments will find it timely and useful.
