The Shell Collector

A Novel

By: Nancy Naigle

Narrated by: Erin Cahill

“The Shell Collector is a beautiful story full of love, loss, and second chances.”—#1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber

From USA Today bestselling author Nancy Naigle, The Shell Collector is a touching novel of a friendship that crosses generations, and learning how even the smallest gifts can change a life for good.

Two years after her husband’s death, Amanda Whittier has two children to raise alone, an abandoned dream of starting a business, and a fixer-upper cottage by the sea. She has no room in her life for anything else and little interest in moving on after losing the man she loved.

Paul Grant is a relative newcomer to the area, and his work with former military dogs needing rehabilitation has been good for the town. Though he loved once before, he’s convinced he’s not suited for romance and is determined to find meaning—alone—through his work and role in the community.

Widowed Maeve Lindsay was born and raised on Whelk’s Island. Spirited, kind, and a little mischievous, she pours her life into the town. But she carries a secret that shapes her every move.

Together, these three souls find encouragement in the most mysterious places and discover a love that’s bigger than their pain, healing their wounded hearts in ways none of them could have hoped for or expected.

Well developed story and characters. Not too syrupy- heart felt and believable sequence of events. Looking forward to reading more from this author. Oh! The narrator was great too!

A Very Special Read

An absolutely wonderful book populated with unforgettable characters who touched my heart. Thank you Nancy Naigle.

Heartwarming

What a great heartwarming story - it’s definitely a story to listen to - I enjoyed it so much !

Such a sweet, good, clean story.

Sometimes a tad cheesy, but really a lovely read overall! The narrator did a very good job of trying to capture all the characters. I felt like I would know Mave if I saw her and heard her voice.
