“The Shell Collector is a beautiful story full of love, loss, and second chances.”—#1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber
From USA Today bestselling author Nancy Naigle, The Shell Collector is a touching novel of a friendship that crosses generations, and learning how even the smallest gifts can change a life for good.
Two years after her husband’s death, Amanda Whittier has two children to raise alone, an abandoned dream of starting a business, and a fixer-upper cottage by the sea. She has no room in her life for anything else and little interest in moving on after losing the man she loved. 
Paul Grant is a relative newcomer to the area, and his work with former military dogs needing rehabilitation has been good for the town. Though he loved once before, he’s convinced he’s not suited for romance and is determined to find meaning—alone—through his work and role in the community. 
Widowed Maeve Lindsay was born and raised on Whelk’s Island. Spirited, kind, and a little mischievous, she pours her life into the town. But she carries a secret that shapes her every move. 
Together, these three souls find encouragement in the most mysterious places and discover a love that’s bigger than their pain, healing their wounded hearts in ways none of them could have hoped for or expected.

      When Amanda's husband, Jack, is deployed overseas, Amanda cannot imagine life without him. After tragedy strikes and Jack is killed, Amanda is left trying to learn to live with her sorrow while raising their two young children on Whelk's Island in North Carolina. Soon she meets and befriends Maeve, a spirited local senior who also lost her husband many years before. Seeing her own pain reflected in Amanda, Maeve works to help her learn to live with the grief and see the beauty in life again. Set in a scenic beach town, this story has the quaint feel of small-town living that brings with it both nostalgia and appreciation of nature and the sea. Although the relationship development may seem somewhat rushed, the description of Amanda and Maeve's heartbreak feels authentic, and this would be a comforting story to others experiencing the loss of a loved one. Overall, this novel is a pleasant story of friendship, family, and life after loss, that will be appreciated by fans of the Christian overtones of Karen Kingsbury and the beachy settings of Mary Kay Andrews.
