Eva

The world dulled when you decided the fate of my future. Our son speaks of you as a
superhero, and I grapple with the idea I wasn’t good enough to keep you here, safe—with us. I spend my days working to support our son, and my nights turn into one endless string of reckless decisions because reality provides no comfort. The truth of the situation buried deep down, since you’re gone, and I stand drowning in my own grief.

Reece

Along the shore, there’s a lady whose torment captured me the first time her aura caught my eye. Her beauty holds steady behind the mask she wears every morning. Something about her piques my interest as the days go by, and I know deep inside my mission beckons to uncover her secret and bring her back among the living. Written in her body language, speaks a familiar road I traveled. A road of sorrow nobody deserves stranded alone in its strangled web.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Maggie Jane Schuler is a wife, mother of three children who have flown the nest, and teacher by day. While she has always loved to read, the thought of writing her own prose did not strike until she was in the middle of writing her master's thesis. From that point on she was hooked.

She resides in Southern California. Besides the family and books, she loves baseball. Since the Dodgers, Angels, and Padres are all within a short distance, and the Giants and Athletics a nice weekend jaunt away, she’s got plenty of games to take in during the season. Additionally, she enjoys cooking, movies, the beach, and the local mountains. She’s most content being with her family engaged in whatever activity they have planned.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a read!
Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2019

The prequel to this story is the novella In the Surf, it is a wonderfully touching read that talks about how a best friend deals with the suicide of his best friend, who happens to be Eva's husband, this gives a little insight into Eva's support system of family/friends, this story can be read without the prequel, but In the Surf is a quick well written read that only enhances Eva's story
I want to say this is a story about healing and finding love after a tragedy but it's so much more. The book with Eva in a swirl of hurt, anger, confusion and escape mode trying to deal with her husband's suicide what adds another element is that it's not just her, she has a young son needing is remaining parent to be present. One night stands, drinking to forget is getting her no answers but she has too many unanswered questions to come up for air. A young buck that shows interest couldn't understand her problems, he's legal, right? Even with her tight circle of support Eva spins out of control until the young buck pushes back. Reece has seen more than most, dealt with a lot and probably dished out more! For him, he felt the connection at first sight, maybe drawn to the sadness he sees in this beautiful woman, knowing he wants to pull her out of the dark bleakness and back into the light. Well written story dealing with picking up the pieces, realigning them and living again after an unexpected death of a loved one, the feels, emotions and confusion is really felt through eyes of the ones going through the motions of living.

This is a sensitive subject as it is about the family and friends who are left behind after a suicide. It is beautifully written. Although this review is for Along the Shore, I think it’s important to point out the prequel. It doesn’t have to be read but if you do it will give you the insight into Eva’s troubles.

The prequel, In the Surf, focuses on the best friend, Liam. How he sifts through the immediate aftermath, questioning how he missed the signs leading up to his best friends suicide.

Along the Shore, is Eva’s (the widow) story. How tries she live after her husband is gone. Her own depression and anger is her worst enemy, causing her to act out and lose herself in the process.

Reese is the guy who she needs but doesn't want. The chemistry between him and Eva is immediate, even if she thinks she doesn't want him around.
I was drawn into their story immediately.
5 star must read
Mental illness touches all of us whether we know it or not. It’s too wide spread to think otherwise. Both books are about healing the hurt left behind after a loved one ends their life.

I ugly cried while reading the prequel as much as I rejoiced when Eva begins to heal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book dealing with survival and life after tragedy.

I'm not sure where to begin. This book was just so well written. So many emotions and feelings. Maggie Jane Schuler does an excellent job of bringing those emotions and feelings out in her characters. Along the Shore follows Eva from In the Surf. Her spiral into self hatred and loathing after her husband's suicide, and her battle in finding acceptance of Byron's choice and how to move on and live her life to its fullest for not only herself but her son as well. Eventually, finding peace, contentment and a happily ever after.  I love that other characters from previous books made appearances in this story as well. A quote from this book that I especially liked is, " Life plays by different rules." This is such a great book, one that I will read over and over.

I enjoyed reading this story. Eva has been thru a lot in 2 years since losing her husband and I loved how Reece came into the picture when she truly needed someone to pull her out of the black hole she was in and could read her when she was pulling away from him. Also I loved how real the story was and how it showed what loved ones go thru after losing a loved one that took their own life.

This is a well written book showing what happens to the people left behind when someone they love commits suicide or is killed in an accident. The amazing characters take you on a realistic heartbreaking journey of the demons they are left with. If you just read one book this year- make it this one- this book can help you understand how to help someone who is fighting these demons.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sensitive subject beautifully done!
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2019
A fabulous 5star (it deserves many more) read of the year for me.

A read so full of angst and high emotions about learning how to navigate through life again after a tragedy strikes.

Eva, in a downward spiral has met her match in Reece, who has been smitten from afar but also just as stubborn with only the best intentions. Cue the swooning and grab some Kleenex. Chivalry is not dead here as fate puts him in some choice places at the right times.

A must read for lovers of older woman, younger man tropes and a supporting cast that adds balance and a little clarity. I promise, you won’t be disappointed!

JUST WOW!!! Maggie has written another absolutely beautiful story with heartbreak and angst that pulls at your heartstrings. After losing the love of her life to suicide, Eva spirals down into a dark depressed place where her decisions and life choices are making a negative and dangerous impact in her life. Reece is her saving grace.... he's wiser than his 23 years and he will do what ever he can to bring Eva back to life. This story is very touching, dealing with how to let go and move on after being left behind. I loved this book and highly recommend it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
