Join Laura Joy Lloyd for an uplifting Pacific Northwest tale about friendship, community, and cherishing loved ones!
About this Event

A monumental regret. A fluttering chance for redemption.

Seventy-year-old Wallace Bernard moves to a remote island in the Pacific Northwest, ideal digs for a man accustomed to being invisible. Drawn by magnetic neighbors into troubleshooting a stalled-out romance, an aimless youngster’s prospects, and an unworldly woman’s sway toward independence, he becomes a trusted member of his new community—unaware he is inextricably linked to one neighbor’s enduring grief. When fresh loss dissolves his loner facade, magnanimous friends offer attentive support. But can Wallace find peace in being far from unremarkable?

Restorative Wren Island is the setting for this heartwarming story about embracing community, pursuing friendship, and cherishing loved ones.

Laura Joy Lloyd writes uplifting contemporary stories set on Pacific Northwest islands.
