Publisher's summary

A collection of lost books holds the clues to her family's legacy…and her future.

Hope Sparrow has mastered the art of outrunning her tragic past, learning never to stay anywhere too long and never to allow anyone control over her life again. Coming to Wanishin Falls in search of her family's history already feels too risky. But somewhere in the towering stacks of this dusty old bookshop are the books that hold Hope's last ties to her late mother—and to a rumored family treasure that could help her start over.

Only, the bookshop is in shambles, and the elderly owner is in the beginning stages of dementia and can’t remember where the books lie. To find the last links to the loved ones she's lost, Hope must stay and accept help from the townsfolk to locate the treasured volumes. Each secret she uncovers brings her closer to understanding where she came from. But the longer she stays in the quaint town, the more people find their way into the cracks in her heart. And letting them in may be the greatest risk of all…

Very Christian story

The story was ok, but I am not religious and a large part of the story is about religion and get progressively more so. The performance was pretty good but the most prononciation of a major author’s name drove me nuts. I am sorry i spent a credit on this as it wasn’t for me.

Not what I expected

Although this was not my normal genre and I wasn't expecting the religious aspect, it was a sweet story. The narrator stumbled a few times but not terrible.

LOVED IT!!!!!!

I hope the author writes more books. A little mystery a little romance a little trauma and loved the “clean” read. Loved all the reminders of Gods promises to us. Great book.

Interesting

I thought I would be bored in the beginning but the mystery got increasingly intriguing. I’m a Christian and I have often found modern Christian novelists to be generic and “Hallmark.” This character represented being a survivor of a major horror. She also faced her fears and has grit. I liked the pirate aspect . The narration pacing and emphasis as well as pronunciation need some work.

I am looking forward to more from this author.

Beautiful story with real romance

Just bought a new car and found out I could listen to this book as I drive. I loved the mystery, the characters, the Christian references & Bible verses. The best part was that there was no sex. Romance, yes; but no sexual undertones. Very enjoyable read.

Very Good Story

I liked the story very much. It was well written and engaging. It was filled with hope for a broken character whose life had been stolen by abuse.

Overall glad I listened to this one! Just a little long in some areas toward the end. But it’s well written with good descriptions. I give it a thumbs up!
