Seaside Friends (Bay Harbor Beach #1)
Nellie Brooks

When Mela finds an old journal and gets lost in the story, she has to decide whether she wants to stay at the coast, give the past a second chance, and solve the secrets her mother and grandmother were hiding. But her husband needs her to do her part at home...and sends daughter Kimmie to bring her back.
Amelie is overjoyed to see her childhood friend again. Her son is also visiting - and since she would like grandchildren sometime, she's glad to hear Mela's charming daughter is joining them.
Investigative journalist Kimmie is between projects. She's also freshly divorced and has no idea why, but at least it gives her time to drive up the coast and check what's going on with Mom. To her surprise, all her journalistic skills do not prepare her for what happens next...
