I loved this post! It really resonates with me and I am adding the book to my list of summer reads. Beautiful quotes that tap at some profound truths.

Mountain or beach… Hmmm. Fun question. I ADORE the mountains – they feel like home to me and rejuvinate me in inexplicable and incomparable ways (though I live far away from them now and rarely see them), but I also LOVE the beach so much! Especially the kind you describe, deserted and natural. I find it healing. I have not been by the sea or ocean for many years ( I usually visit the lake, which I also love), but the power and beauty of the sea are wonderful. I guess I am a mountain girl …and a beach girl. 🙂 Take care, Allie.

I am definitely a beach person. I crave the beach! Don’t know exactly why but maybe if I read this book I’ll find out. I love the quotes you shared. Looking forward to more. And I totally could see you two being friends!

In reply to Susie Mandel. That would not be a bad split personality Susie. I guess I am too, because I love the mountains. Just the beach more. :) I think you would love this book!

I’m sorry you can’t get there anymore. That must be so hard since you really love it. I do hope you can read this book – I think you’d enjoy it, especially since you’re a beach girl too.

In reply to Julie. You didn't mention, my friend, that it was you who gave me this book! I have loved it so much and am so glad to be able to share it with others here. Thrilled you got to reread it on the beach in Puerto Rico. A fitting beach read for sure. :)

In reply to Eva. Thank you Eva! You and your husband must be perfectly matched. Opposites attract. :)

Dear Mountain Girl – Have you read this book yet? I particularly think you’d love it. Ann’s vibrant faith really shines through, and so much wisdom. So much love to you, Beach Girl XO (P.S. I like the mountains too.)

Mountain Girl here, married to a Mountain Man. But Anne’s wonderful wisdom rings true & is fitting sans the sea shells. The higher we hike, the more magnificent the view and the more we work at climbing, the more clothing layers we shed. I like the beach too, but just not quite as much as the Mountains. I especially love the one you described, Allie- deserted at dusk… or dawn.
