The shell collector : a novel / Nancy Naigle.
A touching novel of love and loss, a friendship that crosses generations, and learning how even the smallest gifts can change a life for good. Amanda Whittier had no idea when she said goodbye to her husband, Jack, the morning he deployed that it would be the last time she'd ever see him. Two years later, she's still trying to put her life with their two children back together. She buys a tiny beach cottage in the town near where they'd wed, and what comes next is as unpredictable as what the tide brings in. An unlikely friendship with an older woman who has lived there her whole life puts a new lens on Amanda's situation, and Amanda begins finding shells with quotes in them that seem to guide and inspire her to face her fears. She uncovers local lore about these shells from as far back as thirty years ago that gives her purpose as she chases the stories behind them. One shell leads her to someone she hasn't spoken to since the day she laid her husband to rest. As their friendship unfolds, Amanda begins to believe that he just might hold the key to her future happiness.
