Spend some time in Newport Beach with Jen Watson and her best friends, children and neighbors. In the first book, Newport Harbor House, Jen fought with everything she had to convince her brother not to sell the beach house that had been in their family for generations. She and her friends gave it their all, and saved the beach house...for now, at least. Carrie finds herself thrown together with Dirk yet again, but her world is rocked by the re-entrance of her ex—and her step-daughter, Bethany, whom she hasn't seen for years. Faith has gotten a job at an eclectic little boutique on Balboa Island, and as the school year begins and the owner becomes scarce, Faith has to decide what to do. Stop by the Newport Harbor House, have one of Nana's muffins and catch up on what's happening.
