Publisher's summary

A grieving widow and a disenchanted writer form an unexpected bond in a novel about second chances and finding the courage to let go of the past.

It’s been three years since Claire Kite lost her husband, David, an aspiring novelist, in a tragic car accident. Claire finally finds the courage to move on; then she discovers among the remnants of her shattered world her husband’s last manuscript. It’s intimate, stirring - and unfinished. An idea comes to her.... What if she can find someone to give David’s novel the ending it deserves?

Whitaker Grant is famous for his one and only bestselling novel - a masterpiece that became a hit film. But after being crippled by the pressure of success and his failed marriage, Whitaker retreated from the public eye in his native St. Petersburg, Florida. Years later, he’s struggling through a deep midlife crisis. Until he receives an intriguing request from a lonely widow. To honor David’s story, Whitaker must understand, heart and soul, the man who wrote it and the woman he left behind.

There’s more to the novel than anyone dreamed. Something personal. Something true. Maybe, in bringing a chapter of David’s life to a close, Claire and Whitaker can find hope for a new beginning.

hopeful and feel-good story

Claire Kite is a successful and professional woman, who owns her own restaurant. Unfortunately she experienced the devastating loss of her husband, and she is struggling to find her way in life again. Whitaker is a novelist fighting writer's block, and finding it impossible to write his second novel. When Claire finds an incomplete novel in her husband's office she is determined to have it finished for him, and Whitaker is the man that she wants to do it. Unfortunately he doesn't think he is the right choice. What follows is a tender story of two people learning to trust, re-finding their passions in life, and eventually opening their hearts to new love. It is a hopeful book with a feel-good ending. This one isn't likely to surprise the reader, but it does give them exactly what they were looking for.

loved it!

Perfect beach read set in my favorite beach town! I couldn't put it down. I loved the references to places I know and love.

Great!

I picked this book, randomly.
So glad I did. I laughed a lot and even cried a little. Good story

WALKER

When my walking partner moved, I turned to my Kindle and Audible to keep me moving. "The SingingTrees " was so good, I downloaded "The Unfinished Story"and found another interesting book. Both are true to life and thought provoking.

Performance

This book got great reviews on Amazon and so so on audible. I can see why. The female performance was awesome. 5 star. The male performance was so over the top it was hard to enjoy the book. It was like listening to a 1930’s radio ad... for hours. When you think you can’t take take anymore, the female narrators soothing voice comes on, so you give it another shot. It went on and on like that. It was so distracting I almost didn’t finish this book a few times. If I read this book instead of listening I might have given it 5 stars.

Keeps your attention

Well written and performed. It can make you cry and laugh. The characters are imperfect which makes the story perfect.

New beginning

Just my second book by Boo Walker . Just as the first it didn’t disappoint.Loved it.Hope to find more to read.

Loved it, a Must Read!

This was my first book from this author and I am glad I took a chance because I loved the story. It was well written and easy to follow. It hit all the feelings and was uplifting. On top of the story it really made me think about how to make a positive impact in someone's life.

Boo does it again

Once again Boo Walker hits it out of the park! His dialogue is great and the scene with Whittaker hitting the keys with purpose was hilarious. I sure hope all writers don't go through this.
The characters are wonderful and the journey was well told
