Joy Candellaro once loved Christmas more than any other time of the year. Now, as the holiday approaches, she is at a crossroads in her life; recently divorced and alone, she can’t summon the old enthusiasm for celebrating. So without telling anyone, she buys a ticket and boards a plane bound for the beautiful Pacific Northwest. When an unexpected detour takes her deep into the woods of the Olympic rainforest, Joy makes a bold decision to leave her ordinary life behind - to just walk away - and thus begins an adventure unlike any she could have imagined.

In a Seattle houseboat community, the artistic spirit that has flourished since the 1950s may have ended one life, yet saved another. On Seattle's Lake Union floats Boat Street. The farthest slip on the dock holds a houseboat sided with weathered cedar shingles and trailing morning glory, the white flowering vine whose loveliness is deceiving. In the 1950s, Penny, newly Mrs. Dexter Wentworth, takes up residence, dreaming of fulfillment as the muse to a successful local artist destined for national renown.

Highly recommend!!
I wanted to hate this book. I really did. But I simply couldn’t do it. This book will have you smiling, laughing, angry, and sobbing. I experienced so many emotions while listening to this book and for that alone I can’t hate it. Any book that can make you so connected with the characters and events taking place in their lives that you literally feel like you are experiencing everything they are is very well done. This book will make you look at love in a new light and will make you want to run to the love of your life and hug them and tell them how much they mean to you. The only reason I cannot give this book five stars is because it is hard going back and forth between so many different characters at times. But honestly, the heart gripping stories far outshine that. I highly recommended this book, but warn you to have tissues ready!!
