From Judy Prescott Marshall multi-award-winning writer of STILL CRAZY and THE INN IN RHODE ISLAND comes the final book THE COTTAGE. A series that digs where others fear to tread.

Do you believe in second chances?

This small cottage once served as a safe harbor for Julie. It allowed her to find herself, restore her faith, believe in her dream and it is where Dan found her.

Soon the cottage will serve as the inn’s bridal suite, a warm place for new beginnings and everlasting love.

Dan and Julie Holliday are looking forward to enjoying their retirement running The Inn in Rhode Island, a twenty-five room inn surrounded by tranquil gardens, a pond boasting serenity, peaceful hiking trails, and a brand new swimming pool. At the inn, weddings are special, author events are exciting and afternoon tea is a must. The staff at the inn are gearing up for their most profitable year to date. Best of all, Dan and Julie are building their dream home – a farmhouse in Julie’s favorite harborside – Point Judith. First, the Hollidays are going on a long awaited vacation to Italy.

Just when life seems to be perfect, one of them is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness and everyone at the inn must come together to do whatever they can.

The Inn in Rhode Island – Book Two in the Be Strong Enough Series.

A powerful message about knowing, trusting, and believing in yourself.

At The Inn in Rhode Island, afternoons are reserved for soothing cups of tea while relaxing on one of the porch rockers. You’re welcome to take an easy stroll among the many aesthetic gardens. If reading is your pleasure and the owner sure hopes it is, the library offers an array of books, a comfortable sofa and two wingback chairs on each side of the fireplace. From garden tours in the spring to author events in the fall, you’ll be glad you stayed at the inn, especially for dinner. Chef Michael is passionate about food.

During the golden hour, Julie and Dan Holliday will renew their vows. The wedding will take place at The Inn in Rhode Island on what promises to be a magical evening surrounded by close friends, colleagues, gorgeous flowers, delicious food and a wedding cake baked by the bride’s best friend.

A day guaranteed to be full of wonderful beginnings and everlasting memories to last Julie and Dan a lifetime.

Until best man Jesse shows up with an unexpected guest.

The twenty-three-year old and her son were found lying under a maple tree in their pajamas. Erin was weak, bruised and unable to carry her four-year-old son Kyle any further.

How far would you run to find your safe harbor?

Still Crazy – Book One in the Be Strong Enough Series.

A strong, loving and passionate wife discovers a handwritten note that has the power to either destroy her or make her stronger yet.

Still Crazy is the story of one woman’s journey through pain, betrayal, and forgiveness as she learns to hold onto her faith and, for the first time in her life trust in herself. Julie Holliday has always had a dream – to be the perfect wife. After she gives her heart to the love of her life, all she wants is for Dan to adore her the way she adores him. With only a high school equivalency in one hand and a fist full of ambition in the other, together they build a million-dollar empire. It seems Julie and Dan have a fairytale life – that is, until the day she realizes her love is not enough to stop Dan from having what she suspects are numerous affairs.
