Water Finds a Way

a novel

By: Meghan Perry

Narrated by: Elsa Lepecki Bean

Can coming home bring redemption? Or at least a measure of peace? Recently released from prison, Blake Alvares returns to the only place she ever felt safe, the now derelict Maine town in which she harbored as a teen. Determined to conceal her secrets and losses, she soon finds herself dragged into others’ lives when she takes a job on a boat owned by a notorious young lobsterman.

Leland Savard is nearly broke, trying to support himself and 9-year-old Quinnie as he wrestles with a dangerous family legacy. Though his choice to hire Blake raises local eyebrows, Leland and those around Blake are quickly surprised and jarred by how much they come to rely on her. At the same time, Blake stumbles into love from unexpected places. When Leland’s rash actions place her and Quinnie in peril, Blake feels forced to run again–only to discover the past is never more than a few steps behind her. On her quest for home, Blake must confront a daunting question: where does she belong?

This is an audiobook for listeners who enjoy the believable eccentricity a small town offers. And for those who believe in the redemption of the sea and hard work.

real, raw, and hopeful

Artfully written to unfold a beautiful story of the courage life exacts from us to face our ghosts and accept the love that surrounds us.

Such a beautiful story. Amazing character development and I missed the characters when I finished the book.

I love this book so much. Amazing story line that gives you all the feels. Highly recommend!

The characters are so deep and detailed. I felt like I knew them or living their lives.

Nothing to dislike about this book. Only that it had to end! Can’t wait for her next book!

This story had guts

I liked everything about this book. It’s hard to believe this is her debit novel. The author is astute at creating authentic characters who grab at your heart as they stumble through the things life has thrown at them all. I salute the author and each of her characters. I look forward to her sophomore book.
