Shelter Bay sits on the Oregon coast, the kind of small town where everyone knows your name and newcomers quickly become neighbors. JoAnn Ross uses this setting to weave together stories of people returning home or arriving for the first time, each carrying their own baggage and hoping for a fresh start.
The series opener, The Homecoming, sets the tone well. Characters pass through each other’s lives across the books, giving the series a satisfying sense of continuity without requiring you to read them all in order.
