Wind Chime Cafe: a beautiful story of starting over


Wind Chime Café by Sophie Moss is a story of healing, overcoming and finding new life. Annie Malone and her 8-year-old Taylor are new Heron Island in the Chesapeake Bay. They need a fresh start from the horrors they left behind. Will Dozier grew up on the island but left to join the Navy. He left without looking back. Now he’s back on the island to sell his grandparents’ property and leave the island forever. When they meet, Annie makes it clear she wants nothing to do with Will and Will is looking for a fling. However, when he learns an awful truth about the buyer for the property, he decides another course of action which keeps him on the island a little longer. Slowly, their stories come to light. Every painful memory and every recurring nightmare. Annie slowly opens her heart to Will, but he is determined to leave and someone from her past comes arrives to threaten everything Annie has tried so hard to build. Will she be able to overcome these challenges? Can she find the stability she and her daughter so desperately need? Can Annie and the other islanders convince Will to stay?


Wind Chime Café is a beautiful love story set in a beautiful location. A small island community where everyone comes to know everyone and their secrets.  I loved every character, even the villains which we are supposed to loath. Will is a man running from grief. Annie is a woman running from horrors her daughter experience and wants her to find a place to heal. Together they start to heal each other. I love the older woman/mentor character in Della. There is so much I loved about this book; however, I can’t discuss them as it will spoil the reveal in the story. And the reveals are so worth it! I highly recommend Wind Chime Café and I look forward to any future books featuring Heron Island!
