About this audiobook
Wren has tried to shelter her only son from the tumult of the world. Now she's about to find sanctuary . . . in the last place she ever expected.
In tiny Cottage Cover, on the coast of Maine, Wren Evans is raising her gifted son, Charlie. A single mom, she's fought hard to give Charlie a stable, secure home life. When a prestigious music academy in Boston expresses interest in Charlie's talent, Wren is willing to move them again to make his dreams come true.
But Wren doesn't know that Charlie has been praying for her. And the answer to her son's prayers will change both of their lives. As Wren plans their move to Boston, life in Maine begins to fall apart. Her job is threatened with budget cuts, and Wren's grandmother, Ruth, arrives unannounced, with an outlandish request.
Ruth wants the family gathered together one last time, at the summer home where, years before, an accident shattered Wren's peaceful childhood. In the tumult, Wren finds a friend in a handsome, kind-hearted local, Paul Callahan.
When the family gathers in Cottage Cover, old wounds will be healed, new love will blossom, and the innocent prayers of a child will be answered in a most unexpected way.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book is a little gem. I love the writing and flow of the storyline and thought the characters were developed very well. I connected with Wren and her love for reading and working at the library…as that is a personal dream of mine too! The relationship between her ex-husband and herself fell a little flat for me, however the relationship between her and Paul seemed to go at a very steady pace and was realistic. I love Wren’s 90 year old aunt, Ruth! She is very perceptive, shares what she needs to, and has her own little secret too. Centered around the celebration of Ruth’s 90 birthday, Wren confronts her past so that she can fully embrace her future. There were some little loose ends for me at the end of the book regarding Wren’s sibling relationships, however it is a book that I enjoyed!
