Single mom Wren is living in a cottage on her mom's property with her son Charlie. Charlie is gifted and Wren fights hard to give Charlie stability and security while wrestling with getting him into a prestigious music academy which has expressed an interest in his talent. Throw into the mix, a visit from Grandma Ruth, who wants a birthday party, a handsome man who would like to be Wren's suitor and 2 estranged siblings and you have the makings of a story dealing with forgiveness and healing.
While I enjoyed the foundation of the story, I found the storyline a little meandering, which made the book a slow read. The suspenseful part was more predictable than suspenseful.
I did connect with the main character, Wren and could fully understand the relationship with her sister Barb. Some of the characters seemed to be thrown into the book without just cause. It is like they are in this chapter and gone the next so did they need to be in it at all?
The overall message was of forgiveness and healing and the book did accomplish addressing those issues. Was I challenged in my faith or was I entertained? Not really.
Should you buy the book? Perhaps at a thrift store or garage sale.
