He shared Maggie’s dreams, and eventually, one shattering secret which drove the two of them apart.

Buying her old family home and settling down again in Wyndham Beach means an opportunity for her and her two daughters to start over. However it’ll also mean facing her rekindled feelings for her first love and confronting (and embracing) finally the past in certain ways that she never believed possible. Maggie isn’t going to be alone. With her friends and family surrounding her, she can weather such a stormy turning point in her life and start opening her heart up to the future.

With just a little bit of help from her friends, she is well on her way.

Tuck Shelby, a local contractor, has been a friend to Liddy since forever. He has made himself indispensable in rehabbing her shop, as well as in her life, however he now wants out of the friend zone. He then returns with this long-overdue apology, hoping for some forgiveness and a shot to begin again, and Liddy has this life changing decision she must make.

Into a year when she has faced some changes and a shocking truth about a well kept secret comes not just a second chance at love, but also a second chance at life.

“All That We Are” is the third novel in the “Wyndham Beach” series and was released in 2022. An emotional and hopeful novel about enduring friendships, twists of fate, and life’s never ending surprises.

In the ten years since Emma Dean’s husband died, she has maintained an organized and peaceful life in her hometown of Wyndham Beach, until she discovers evidence of her husband’s long running affair. Emma wonders: how exactly can a guy that has been gone for a decade still possibly break her heart?

While Emma is still reeling from this betrayal, she has to focus on the group of artists that she has invited to take up residence at the art center which she founded, one of whom secretly looks to gain refuge from an abusive ex. Toss in one charming businessman that has returned with eyes just for Emma, and it is becoming a most interesting summer.

Biggest surprise of all is about to ring her doorbell and completely turn her life upside down once more. While Emma struggles between what was and what currently is, she finds that the life she truly wants, however unexpected it might be, is close at hand, if only she is willing to fight for it.

This is another fantastic read from Mariah Stewart, one that is both heartfelt and charming. She reaches right into your chest and grabs you by the heart. Then gives it a bit of a twist before putting it back with just a little pat, as if to reassure you it’ll all work out in the end. She has a gift for writing stories that will make you cry, laugh, hold your breath, and sigh.

Each of the three lead characters are all very likable, as they have such a close friendship, have each faced adversity, and they take on life’s challenges and hiccups together. Once again she does something not many other novels do, and that is focus on women over 50 still being active. This one kept readers up well into the night to finish.
