Books like LIFE'S A BEACH by Claire Cook
When Ginger Walsh, a forty‑one‑year‑old single woman, moves back home to the FROG (Finished Room Over Garage) after managing a sea‑glass art business, she expects a quiet new chapter. Instead, her days are filled with babysitting her sister’s children, juggling a dumpster‑picking father, a Kama Sutra‑T‑shirt‑wearing mother, a movie crew, a flirtatious glass‑blowing boyfriend, and a pair of Red Hat realtors. Amid the chaos, Ginger learns that life’s happiest moments often come when you step outside your planned path. This humorous, contemporary romance offers a warm, witty look at life’s unexpected turns and the possibility of finding love at any age.
