Wind Chime Café

by Sophie Moss

I came across this story on my kindle. Do you ever

do that? Just see a story somewhere and feel drawn to

read it? Even if you don't know the author? Or have any

connection to it?
That's how this was. I have never read Sophie Moss.
But I felt like I just had to read it.
Thank goodness!
It has been a wonderful, heart touching, demanding,

real life, emotional story. The characters were

wildly diverse. And still, came together beautifully.

I could not wait from moment to moment to find

out what was going to happen.

Annie Malone is a single mom. She is not always

lovable. She has a lovely eight year old daughter,

Taylor. Taylor is in an emotionally fragile place.

Sometimes, Annie puts people off in the process of

protecting Taylor. But she is putting everything on the

line on Heron Island to make a new, safe,
comfortable life for the two of them.

Will Dozier is a Navy Seal trying to get

a hold of his own life. He grew up here on

Heron Island. But he has not been home for

10 years. He is being forced to be here to take

care of his grandparents homestead. And do it

in such a way that it stays true to their memory.

Taylor and Will have everything in common.

Even though she is an 8 year old girl and he is

a grown man and Navy Seal. The emotions everyone

in this story goes through are written so well. They will

all settle deep in your heart. You will picture

the diner and the beach. You will hear the wind

chimes. You will feel the children in their pure

happiness and then in desperate fear.

Its been some time since I read a story that has

touched me so much. There are no slow times. Its

not all hard. But it flows and moves along steady.

I really loved this story.
