The Tides of New Beginnings: Romance of found family, healing and choosing home (Where the Light Remains #3)
Jaz E Bear
In the seaside village of Oakhaven, magic isn’t inherited — it’s built.
Sarah has spent her life in the background, quietly holding together the dreams of others. But when corporate developers threaten to erase the village’s forgotten northern coastline, she is forced to step forward and claim something of her own.
As Sarah restores an abandoned salt-house into a place of healing and creation, she finds herself surrounded by unlikely allies — a reclusive lighthouse restorer, a gruff blacksmith, a child who believes in anchors, and a community discovering its strength. Together, they confront buried histories, legal battles, and the fear of standing visible in a world that prefers compliance.
The Tides of New Beginnings is a gentle, emotionally rich romance about late-in-life reinvention, found family, disability representation, and choosing connection without losing independence.
