Autumn by the Sea (Muir Harbor Series) - Melissa Tagg
Sydney Rose's past is a mystery to her-until one day a private detective shows up at her door on behalf of a woman searching for her lost granddaughter. Sydney is brought to Maggie Muir's home on the Maine coast, where she befriends Maggie's adopted daughters Indi and Lili, as well as Scottish adopted son Neil. There is more than one mystery spanning the 3 books in this series, including the search for the missing granddaughter and why vandalism is occurring on the farm. Though the Muir property is primarily a blueberry farm, Sydney learns to care for animals on the property including, of course, goats. Autumn By the Sea is available in paperback and through Kindle Unlimited.
