Mary and I sat down with Author Christina Whisler to discuss her Raven's Curse series.

Memories are made of moments.

One golden summer, a mother and her daughters walk the shoreline, barefoot and laughing, hunting for treasure. Not gold or jewels, but soft, frosted pieces of sea glass, tumbled smooth by the ocean and kissed by the sun.

Each piece they find becomes more than a pretty fragment. Together they transform those sea-glass treasures into beautiful pendants and earrings — jewelry that holds the laughter, the salt air, the quiet talks, and the unbreakable bond of that summer. Jewelry that can be worn, cherished, and passed down for generations.

Sea Glass Summer is a heartwarming celebration of family, creativity, and the magic that happens when ordinary moments become lifelong keepsakes. Perfect for mothers, daughters, grandmothers, and anyone who believe the best treasures are the ones we make together.

Dive into a story that will make you want to walk the beach, collect a little piece of the sea, and create something beautiful that lasts forever.
