When Bree arrives in the quiet lakeside town of Pelion, Maine, she's running from a painful past that won't let her rest—until she literally crashes into Archer Hale, a mysterious and isolated man who communicates without words but somehow speaks directly to her heart. Archer carries his own deep wounds, and together they begin to slowly heal each other in the most unexpected ways. This is a beautifully tender story about two broken people discovering that sometimes the person who understands you best is the one who's been broken in similar ways, and that love has the power to give us back our voices.
