Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Shelley Noble returns to the beach in her latest summer listen about the family we create and the wishes we make that can shape us.

Zoe Bascombe has never said no to her family. When she blew her Julliard audition, she caved to their wishes and went to business school. But when her mother dies and leaves instructions for Zoe to spread her ashes at a place called Wind Chime Beach, she defies her brothers and starts out for a New England town none of them has ever heard of and discovers a side of her garden club mother that her wildest dreams hadn’t imagined.

Zoe has another family.

Her first instinct is to run home. Instead she is caught in the middle of her feuding new relatives. With one family fighting among themselves and the other not speaking to her, Zoe must somehow find a way to bridge her new life with her old.

For the first time in her life, Zoe must make a stand for her family - both of them. If only she can only figure out how.

Her answer lies at Wind Chime Beach, where for generations people have come to add their chimes to the ones already left among the trees. And when the wind blows and the air fills with music, their secrets, dreams, and hopes are sent into the world. There’s a message for Zoe here - if she has the courage to open her heart.

A Beach Wish

I truly love this audiobook. And, hopefully they will all come together and learn to love one another. Zoe is the father of Lee, and Eve. And, Zoe is going to run the Inn until Eve returns. It was such an amazing story, that her mother told her to go back to Wind Chime Beach to spread her ashes. She had never heard of this place. And with her brothers coming together after Arold said Zoe would hear from his attorney. It all worked out for the best because they all came together to send their mother’s ashes at the beach. Wonderful story.

Great story, lots of twists

I really liked this story. It had great twists and turns. The narrator was a bit too fast, had to back up a lot but overall it was really great and was very entertaining.
