Magnolia Bay Memories

These two might deny their attraction, but when every person-and animal!-at Bayside Barn works as one, they can’t help but see that they belong together, and that Magnolia Bay is the forever home they’ve both been searching for…

Heather Gabriel is a widowed mother struggling to overcome her grief and be there for her children. Previously a stay-at-home mom, she takes a job at Magnolia Bay’s Animal Shelter. Caring for her family and the shelter’s animals is about as much as she can handle, so when she meets Adrian, the shelter’s new business consultant, she’s not interesting in being anything more than colleagues-this definitely isn’t the right time for a summer affair.

But the shelter’s animal communication expert Reva Curtis knows there’s more to Heather and Adrian’s relationship than they let on, and she’s determined to bring them closer together. With the help of Heather’s three children and all the animals on the farm, the new lovers soon realize they can have a future together…if they can let go of the past.

Author and animal communicator Babette de Jongh brings authentic experience, genuine emotion, and the honest love between people and their animals in this heartfelt and bright story. Small town romance will never look the same once you’ve traveled to Magnolia Bay!

‘De Johngh creates a strong sense of Magnolia Bay’s close-knit community, even delving into the inner thoughts and feelings of the animals at the shelter. Readers will appreciate the fortitude of the characters as they seek to overcome the tragedies of their pasts.’ - Publishers Weekly
