About this audiobook
After sixteen months of widowhood, Elena Hart leaves behind the life she shared with her husband and moves to a weathered cottage on the coast of Seabrook, Maine. She expects solitude, but instead finds an old house filled with secrets, hidden letters, and the unfinished love story of former owner Lila Sawyer and Finn Calloway.
As Elena begins painting and teaching again, she also grows closer to local handyman Jake Sullivan and his spirited daughter, Mara. Jake never asks Elena to forget the husband she lost—he simply shows her that her heart can hold both the love that came before and the possibility of something new.
**The House with Salt in Its Bones: A New Beginning** is an emotional coastal romance with touches of mystery, found family, grief, healing, and second chances. It is a story about discovering that moving forward does not mean leaving the people we loved behind.
