All The Broken Ones We Love

By Naphtali Maynard

All the Broken Ones We Love is a captivating story that will grab you by the heart and pull you under.

The residents of Cliff Island, they say, are as wild as the August blueberries that grow along the Southside bluff. Fewer than forty live on the gray rock and are known to be colder than the frozen surf that freezes as it smashes the tall sentries that rock the Northside cliffs. From the weathered self-proclaimed mayor Mabel who has keys to every house on the Island, to Ruby Taylor, the vibrant artist and daughter of Chuck who owns the single store on the Island, the residents are mourning the loss of their beloved Sara and curious about the stranger who shadows the windows of her old house. Especially Jack, a craftsman who is fascinated by the lights that never turn off in the big house, and the woman with a wild sadness that seems to match his won.

When Evelinn Stanton lands on remote Cliff Island, two hours off the coast of Portland, Maine, she is a shell. Barely held together by linen and kohl, Evie is a childless widow not yet thirty who is willed an old stone house at the top of the Island where she expects to fade away. Instead, she finds herself pulled into the center of the tiny community when she must care for an autistic nonverbal child in foster care. Through the translucent world of the little boy and the wild community around her, Evie begins to find her way back to purpose, until she is faced with the unimaginable.

All the Broke Ones We Love is the great love story of a mother and her child. Of a woman who gave everything, even her dignity, to settle a debt not her own. It is the wild romance of an Island and the people who make their home on her gray shores, battered and broken as they are.
