Coming Home to Seashell Harbor, page 31
That’s a simple thing. A smile, and a little time to escape into a place where your worries fade for just a little while.
My mom used to tell me when I was sad or upset, “Pick up a book.” Yes, she didn’t exactly say, “write a book.” But you get the message, which I still take to heart.
It ultimately became therapeutic for me to escape into a wonderful, sunshine-filled world. Where your friends have your back, where your family might drive you up the wall but know you better than anyone, and where you just might rediscover the love of your life. And where somebody always provides a quip or two (intentionally or not) to make you laugh.
This book was written as a love letter to you. Thank you for choosing to read it! I pray that by the time this is in your hands, we are out of the worst of this pandemic. That we can now visit our friends, hug our family, and head to the grocery store without shaking a little inside.
I pray for you and for everyone who has suffered hardships, big and small, this past year. And I will continue to do so as our world struggles to regain its balance and our lives slowly return to normal.
In the meantime, we can still have a laugh to lighten the load. And love will always go on.

About the Author
Miranda Liasson is a bestselling author who writes about the important relationships in women’s lives as well as the self-discovery and wisdom gained along the way. Her heartwarming and humorous romances have won numerous accolades and have been praised by Entertainment Weekly for the way she “deals with so much of what makes life hard…without ever losing the warmth and heart that characterize her writing.” She believes that we can handle whatever life throws at us just a little better with a laugh.
A proud native of northeast Ohio, she and her husband live in a neighborhood of old homes that serves as inspiration for her books. She is very proud of her three young adult children. And though every day she thinks about getting a dog, she fears a writer’s life may bore the poor animal to tears.
When she’s not writing or enjoying books herself, she can be found biking along the old Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath trails in the beautiful Ohio MetroParks.
Miranda loves to hear from readers!
