The Christmas Piano at Wren's Landing

Some songs wait thirty-four years to be played again.

At fifty-two, piano technician Greta Linden keeps the finest instruments in Chicago in perfect tune, while her own life sits quietly out of key. Her daughter is spending Christmas in London. Her divorce is long settled. And a big promotion is waiting for her answer by December 21st.

Then an email arrives from Wren's Landing, the tiny Maine harbor town she left at seventeen. The beloved old piano in Tidewater Hall has been silent for three Christmases, and the town wants its Lantern Concert back.

There's just one problem. The man who holds the key to the hall is Owen Callaway, the boatbuilder whose heart she broke with a single letter when they were young. Now a widower still grieving the wife who once led the concert, Owen locked those doors for a reason.

As snow piles up along the harbor, a shy teenage pianist finds her courage, and a forgotten letter surfaces from inside an old piano bench. Greta and Owen must decide whether it's too late for a second chance, or exactly the right time.

A heartwarming, clean later-in-life romance about grief and healing, small-town Christmas traditions, and the courage to play again. Perfect for readers who love cozy holiday stories, mature heroines, and second chances, with no explicit content.

BONUS: Hattie's holiday recipes from the Tern House kitchen, a listening list of the real music from the concert, and book club discussion questions.
