As the Great War rages on, Sunset Cove continues to feel its impact. Running the small town newspaper, Anna McDowell can’t escape the grim reports from the other side of the world, but home-front challenges abound as well. Dr. Daniel is serving the wounded on the front lines. And Katy, expecting her first child, with her husband in the trenches, tries to support the war effort with her Red Cross club. Even as the war winds down the costs are high—and Sunset Cove is not spared.

My Review:
I have enjoyed this series as it’s given us a hometown view of events that took place during the Great War. I appreciate the author’s historical detail, and understand better how the war affected our country. I’ve come to feel as if I have known the people of Sunset Cove.
In this final book of the series, there are several major storylines that are brought to a conclusion. We watch the families celebrate weddings and babies, and experience the sadness of tragedy and loss. Everything is not quite happily-ever-after, but is an encouragement of how faith, hope, and love never fails. I think this is one of Melody Carlson’s best series to date, and I’m looking forward to her next one.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Writing about the WW1 era has definitely been a good history lesson for me. Prohibition laws in Oregon (and rum-runners breaking them) combined with a massive war that changed the world and a global epidemic is worth paying attention to. Especially since history sometimes repeats itself. The early 20th century had a lot going on—much that seems nearly forgotten. I’m glad to see the movie 1917 is doing well—and we plan to see it this week. Although I’m not a fan of gruesome war movies, this era continues to intrigue me. Even as I wrapped up my Sunset Cove series with Turning Tide I was left wondering . . . what’s next? But isn’t that the beauty of story?
To celebrate her tour, Melody is giving away the grand prize package of a complete set of The Legacy of Sunset Cove series!!
