Debbie Macomber’s latest novel is “The Best Is Yet to Come.” A new beginning in charming Oceanside, Washington is exactly what Hope Godwin needs after the death of her twin brother. There are plenty of distractions – like the animal shelter where she meets Shadow, a rescue dog that everyone has given up on. Wounded ex-Marine Cade Lincoln, Jr., also a volunteer, identifies with Shadow and assumes they are both beyond help, but Hope believes they are both worth saving. “The Best is Yet to Come” is available on cd as well as digitally through Libby.
