Beach Heart: An Emerald Isle, NC Single Title Novel (Single Title Novels by Grace Greene) Kindle Edition

Visit Emerald Isle, NC again in this single title story about Emma, a woman who spent much of her early life at the beach but then fate took her elsewhere. Now she has a chance to go back and reclaim the happiness she remembers...but is that possible?

Emma Deveraux married Gregory Dance soon after college and now, thirteen years later, she is a widow and about to be homeless. Her husband’s long illness has left her broken financially and emotionally devastated. Over the angry objections of her stepson, Macon, she sold the family home to pay the debts and now, it’s moving-out day—surely the lowest point in her almost thirty-seven years of life. But on this day when nothing good could possibly be expected to happen, she receives a last-minute delivery—legal documents transferring ownership of Beach Heart to her. It’s a very special delivery that promises hope and a fresh chance at a future. An oceanfront duplex is a valuable property, and this one comes with precious childhood memories, still bright and shiny in her mind, of the happiest years of her life.

But it also brings unexpected burdens, secrets, and difficult decisions.

It’s also a gift that Emma can’t quite trust, but a place at the beach—paid for and hers—is an irresistible place to hide while she gets her health back and finds employment. At Beach Heart, Emma feels herself growing stronger, in part, thanks to a neighbor and his dog, Starfish, a golden retriever, and the friendship of a gallery owner in Beaufort.

Emma’s life and health are rebounding more quickly than she could’ve imagined or hoped—until she discovers secrets about her past and present, and learns that there’s more to the property transfer than simple goodwill. The betrayal she experienced with her husband and then her stepson, comes back full force. Can she find forgiveness in her heart for them and for herself—and keep Beach Heart?

BEACH HEART ~ Emma Dance has a chance to reclaim the happiest time in her life - or build a new future. Which will she choose?

Beach Heart by Grace Greene - An Emerald Isle, NC novel

An Emerald Isle, NC Single Title

Editorial Reviews

Review

Beach Heart...also serves as a great introduction to Greene's style for those who have never read her books before as well as a familiar voice telling a new story with some wrinkles we don't always see even from Greene herself. Truly an outstanding book, one great to read on a beach somewhere if you get a chance - or anywhere else if you don't. Very much recommened. - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Jeff Sexton, BookAnon.com

I thoroughly enjoyed Grace Greene's Cub Creek, Wildflower House, and Barefoot Tides series, but had never read her Emerald Isle, North Carolina series. Beach Heart is an Emerald Isle, NC single title novel, but is related to her Emerald Isle series. Like all of her other books, the characters in this book quickly become your friends. You will cheer for them and cry with them as they face life's challenges and pleasures. Beach Heart might come across as just another beach vacation read, but don't be fooled by the cover. The words of wisdom shared in this story are meaningful, heart-warming, and truly inspiring. I give this book five stars, and most highly recommend it, as I do each of the books in the series mentioned above. - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Christian Fiction and More (.blogspot.com)

Once again, Grace Greene has swept her readers to the wonderful Emerald Isle, with its beautiful beaches and kindhearted residents. This stand-alone novel is a delightful way to start your summer reading, as you explore the community and get to know Emma and understand her troubles. The people she meets and the connections she makes, make this story just that more enjoyable. I truly loved everything about this book, even down to the enthusiastic dog who lives down the beach. Beach Heart should be at the top of your summer reading list. It's beautifully written and exactly the escape read everyone needs right now. I highly recommend it! - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Susan TheBookBag

About the Author

Grace Greene is an award-winning and USA Today bestselling author of women's fiction and contemporary romance with suspense set in the countryside of her native Virginia (The Happiness In Between, The Memory of Butterflies, the Cub Creek Series, and The Wildflower House Series) and on the breezy beaches of Emerald Isle, North Carolina (The Emerald Isle, NC Stories Series, and Barefoot Tides Series). Her debut novel, Beach Rental, and the sequel, Beach Winds, were both Top Picks by RT Book Reviews magazine. The release of A Barefoot Tide, represented the merging of two worlds—that of Cub Creek and Emerald Isle, through the eyes of a new character, and continues in the sequel, A Dancing Tide released later that year. Wildflower Wedding joined The Wildflower House Series lineup in February 2022, and Beach Heart released in June.

This book has a lot more complexity than a regular beach story. All of us have pieces of the past that can cause us to stumble over the present. And hence, cause confusion with moving forward towards the future. The story involves secrets, trusting ourselves and other people, and realizing the need for a fresh start.

I loved this story and highly recommend it. It was excellent and hard to put down. That said, I have to point out that Ms. Green definitely needs an editor for her books. I found the many incomplete sentences and the MANY additional words confusing and a distraction from the story. I should have reported them but did not and now wish I had done so. That is why I gave it 3 stars instead of 5. If someone edits and corrects the mistakes, I would definitely change my rating. As it is, I will be reluctant to buy another of this author's books.

4.0 out of 5 stars my dream, a beach house
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2023

This story is what many of us dream of, a beach house given to us for free.
The main character was troubling for me. I wanted to like her, but she was so negative, and suspicious. Although she was in her 30s, I felt like I was reading about an older woman who was cynical. Emma interrupted people, thought the worst of them, and although she recognized she needed healing, it still was tiring.
I loved the dog! The dog owner was also quite friendly but the reader never really gets to know him much. He has red hair. Reddish auburn curly hair. I wish the characters were more developed but it was a light easy read and when reading about the beach and it’s healing , Greene does a great job.

This is a difficult book to describe. Did I like it. Yes. Definitely. Grace Greene is an excellent writer. All of her stories have so much feeling, emotion, and heart. Beach a Heart is so simple. I felt like I was floating through Emma’s life watching her change and grow. She quietly faced her demons and conquered in an unassuming way. Simple as this story was, there were some profound life statements made. I enjoyed the story and was surprised at the end. But the ending suited the story and the girl.

As a storyteller Grace Greene is a queen. I love the calm manner in the way she writes, even when her characters are facing challenges and upheavals in their lives. Beach Heart is yet another story to tug at your heart, make you smile when the words remind you of your own childhood but most of all Grace Greene delivers hope.
