The eighth book is the last book of this series and it is a well concluded part that finally provides Georgia Carpenter with what she was looking for. At the start, we think that she was looking for a place to settle down, and later we get the notion that the woman was in search of love. Though she needed those things too the most important thing in life for Georgia was trying to prove herself useful once again.
After losing everything she started thinking of herself as a useless object. The restoration of the inn provided her with the confidence that she lost initially in the first chapter. Also, we see that those aspects of Georgia’s personality that were previously hidden from all of us also come into play so she finds the hidden qualities of her personality that she never knew she had.
Maggi Miller has truly described the evolution of a woman at the age of fifty three when an average woman starts thinking about retirement or going to the old house perhaps. Lisa Flanagan and Pamela Almand have done most of the narration but we cannot ignore Charlie Thurston and Stephanie Einstein. Gulf Coast Cottage and Gulf Coast Reunion brought trouble for Georgia which she handled eventually.
Now the inn is finally working and it is ready for the Christmas party that used to be a trend in the inn. Georgia is ready to dedicate it to her late Aunt Norma because of whom she has been given a new life. Now Georgia hopes for a miracle at Christmas so that nothing goes wrong this time. The ending of the novel brings joy and relaxation for the main character and it is good to see that she is happy.
