About this ebook

Thirty-four-year-old Wren Waters believes that if you pay attention, the universe will send you exactly what you need. But her worldview shatters when the universe delivers two life-altering blows she didn’t see coming, and all she wants to do is put the whole heartbreaking mess behind her. No one is more surprised than Wren when she discovers that geocaching—the outdoor activity of using GPS to look for hidden objects—is the only thing getting her out of bed and out of her head. She decides that a weeklong solo quest geocaching in Oregon is exactly what she needs to take back control of her life.

Enter Marshall Hendricks, a psychologist searching for distraction as he struggles with a life-altering blow of his own. Though Wren initially rebuffs Marshall’s attempt at hiker small talk, she’s beyond grateful when he rescues her from a horrifying encounter farther down the trail. In the interest of safety, Marshall suggests partnering up to look for additional caches. Wren’s no longer quite so trusting of the universe—or men in general—but her inner circle might argue that a smart, charismatic psychologist isn’t the worst thing the universe could place in her path.

What begins as a platonic road trip gradually blossoms into something deeper, and the more Wren learns about Marshall, the more she wants to know. Now all she can do is hope that the universe gets it right this time.

This is an absolutely beautiful story that at times made me ache as I questioned what it was going to take for me to get my happy ending right along with this couple. This was not a straight shot for them or myself and the aching anticipation of it all added a deeper level to their journey and had me falling in love even more with this book.

A truly wonderful and touching novel telling of two people dealing with grief and finding the help they needed in each other. Marshall is grieving the younger brother he lost in a tragic manner. Wren’s fiance was killed in a car crash and she learned of his deception-one that is deep and terrible. Wren and Marshall meet while geocaching, choose to partner up, and something special develops between them. But their journeys to wellness are not over as they forge ahead to come to terms with their losses. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
