Wren has tried to shelter her only son from the tumult of the world. Now she's about to find sanctuary . . . in the last place she ever expected.

In tiny Cottage Cover, on the coast of Maine, Wren Evans is raising her gifted son, Charlie. A single mom, she's fought hard to give Charlie a stable, secure home life. When a prestigious music academy in Boston expresses interest in Charlie's talent, Wren is willing to move them again to make his dreams come true.

But Wren doesn't know that Charlie has been praying for her. And the answer to her son's prayers will change both of their lives. As Wren plans their move to Boston, life in Maine begins to fall apart. Her job is threatened with budget cuts, and Wren's grandmother, Ruth, arrives unannounced, with an outlandish request.

Ruth wants the family gathered together one last time, at the summer home where, years before, an accident shattered Wren's peaceful childhood. In the tumult, Wren finds a friend in a handsome, kind-hearted local, Paul Callahan.

When the family gathers in Cottage Cover, old wounds will be healed, new love will blossom, and the innocent prayers of a child will be answered in a most unexpected way.

      Wren and Charlie share the special bond of a single mother and her only child. Wren dreams of being able to send Charlie to an expensive music program, but it seems all but impossible given the budget cuts at the library where she works. When Wren's grandmother Ruth shows up, Wren is thrilled to have her back in her life, and she and Charlie are both excited about the 95th birthday celebration Ruth wants to throw for herself. Unfortunately, Ruth wants to invite Wren's estranged siblings. With bills piling up and her family's arrival renewing old hurts, Wren seems ready to uproot Charlie and flee, but Charlie has his own prayers and asks God to grant his mother happiness. VERDICT Walsh (Angel Song) cohosted the popular 700 Club as well as her own show, Heart to Heart with Sheila Walsh. She's well known and her fans will be looking for this. Its leisurely, character-driven story line should appeal to fans of Karen Kingsbury.
