Julie's Reviews > The Sea Glass Sisters

The Sea Glass Sisters by Lisa Wingate is a 2013 Tyndale House publication.

I discovered I had a book in this series on my Kindle- but it was the second book in the series- so I decided to go back and read the first book- which is when I discovered there was a prequel, if you will. Though this book was published in between full-length installments, I decided to start with this novella then read ‘The Prayer Box’ after that.

This story features a 911 operator, Elizabeth Gallagher, who is going through a rough patch. A trip with her mother to visit her aunt, finds the island preparing for a hurricane and her aunt dealing with a serious health condition.

Yet the time away from home gives Elizabeth a chance to reflect on her rapidly approaching ‘empty nest’, her marriage, and her future…

This novella gives me a feel for the kind of series this will be, and I can tell it’s right up my alley. I loved Elizabeth’s realistic issues, the reality of her job, her home life and her perspective on living on an island that is so prone to hurricanes and floods.

After reading Wingate’s ‘Before We Were Yours’, I promised to read more books by this author. I was surprised by how many books she had written before I discovered her. It’s taken me awhile to find my way back to her, but I’m glad I finally did! I’m very much looking forward to this series!!
