A shattered heart. A broken life. A box of Wishes. What can save her? Can a woman broken by tragedy and heartbreak journey through her own past to reclaim her future?

Callie Ward’s hopes and dreams have crumbled under the weight of life-long trauma. At twenty-eight, amidst life and wedding crises, a box of Wishes arrives from a lost beloved family member intended to help nurture and heal her. They are separate envelopes containing loving guidance, requests, and tangible, material support requiring that one must be fulfilled before opening the next.

But the Wishes mean facing her past from which she recoils at having to dredge up traumatic events, fearful of unrecoverable heartbreak. It’s safer for her to hide from the world than face more loss and betrayal. More help comes from places and people unknown, unexpected and mysterious, but she’s reluctant to accept it. 

Her escape into solitude spirals into entanglements with others who have their own wounds and secrets. She's encouraged by caring, helpful women, but fearful of men who challenge her guarded heart—a secret admirer, a wounded hero, and an intelligent charmer who seems too good to be true.

Battling recovered memories and anxiety, Callie must choose to confront, or run from, the Wishes and her wounded soul, and men who could either shatter or heal her. Will it be fate or her own decisions that determine who she is and the rest of her life?

Callie’s journey through broken lives from charming New England to the Florida coasts, to the majestic Grand Canyon through all seasons will either save or devastate her. Join Callie as she navigates the treacherous terrain of the heart in a fight for her future, in this poignant exploration of the power of love and hope, resilience and redemption against human suffering.
