She spent thirty years asking one question. Now she's finally strong enough to hear the truth. At forty-nine, Julie Holliday has the life she built with her own two hands: a thriving bakery, a beautiful home on the river, and Dan, her first and only love. Then, at three in the morning, she finds a woman's name and number on his desk, and three decades of doubts she's tried to bury come flooding back. Julie has always been the one who stays. But this time, despite the panic attacks and the separation anxiety that have kept her tethered for years, she does the unthinkable. She sells everything and drives to the Rhode Island coast, where a tired old house is waiting to become an inn, and where a woman who once lost her faith and stopped believing in herself. is about to discover exactly who she is.
What she builds there is more than a business. It's a family of friends, staff, and strangers who arrive broken and stay to heal, including a frightened young mother running from a violent husband with her little boy in her arms. And as the love Julie thought she'd lost finds its way back to her, she learns that forgiveness and strength aren't opposites, and that home is something you choose. From a long-overdue honeymoon in Italy to a devastating diagnosis that will test everything she and Dan have rebuilt, and a secret from the past no one saw coming, the Be Strong Enough series is a warm, heartfelt journey about second chances, found family, and the courage it takes to start over at any age. This omnibus edition includes all three novels: Still Crazy, The Inn in Rhode Island, and The Cottage at the Inn in Rhode Island.
