Zoe Bascombe has never said no to her family. When she blew her Juilliard audition, she caved to their wishes and went to business school. But when her mother dies and leaves instructions for Zoe to spread her ashes at a place called Wind Chime Beach, Zoe defies her brothers and starts out for a New England town none of them have ever heard of and discovers a side of her garden club mother her wildest dreams hadn't imagined. Zoe has another family. Her first instinct is to run home. Instead, she is caught in the middle of her feuding new relatives. With one family fighting among themselves and the other not speaking to her, Zoe must somehow find a way to bridge her new life with her old. For the first time in her life, Zoe must make a stand for her family—both of them. If only she could figure out how. Her answer lies at Wind Chime Beach, where generations of people have come to add their chimes to those already left among the trees. And when the wind blows and the air fills with music, their secrets, dreams, and hopes are sent into the world. There's a message for Zoe here, if she has the courage to open her heart.
