Wish Upon a Sea Star

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is make a wish.

At fifty-two, Leah St. James has stopped believing in wishes.

After surviving breast cancer and the end of her marriage, the Seahaven social worker has built a quiet life around helping other people through their hardest days. Then eleven-year-old Sophie Larsen enters her world: a serious, tenderhearted girl suddenly in need of a foster home, and painfully familiar with the fear of wondering whether anyone will choose her.

Helping Sophie find a place to belong awakens memories Leah thought she had tucked safely away, including the foster mother who once taught her to make wishes on sea stars. And when kindhearted veterinarian Sam Brightman begins finding his way past Leah’s carefully guarded heart, she must decide whether she’s willing to risk hoping for something for herself again.
