She also begins to paint again, something she's been unable to do since her breakup. It's tempting to stay on Kauai, but she has obligations back in Los Angeles.</p><p><br></p><p>Life gets more complicated when circumstances keep putting her close to Leonardo Medici.

When the Wind Chimes follows this interlude during which Kaitlyn recovers, finds new life meaning, and encounters family and new friends just in time to make new connections in her life.</p><p><br></p><p>Mary Ting does a fine job of creating an atmospheric first-person read that brings readers along on the journey to Hawaii and new opportunities: "Jingle Bells" blasted at Lihue airport on Kauai, only I wasn't dashing through the snow. I was sprinting through the terminal with a carry-on duffle bag hiked over my shoulder and a smaller one clutched in my hand."</p><p><br></p><p>From an unexpected job interview "an ocean away from home" to her increasing involvement in the fabric of not only Hawaii but her own life and future, Kate's recovery involves growth and new opportunities which come to life under Ting's hand.</p><p><br></p><p><em>When the Wind Chimes</em> excels because of this growth process. It's much a story of discovery and change as it is an evolving romance as Kate meets local celebrity Leonardo Medici and finds herself unexpectedly entranced. The sound of wind chimes that indicate each new possibility is a gentle device that reflects hope and expanded perceptions as Kate evolves.</p><p><br></p><p>As she considers the things that truly make her happy in life and how they may be cultivated, Kate's journey involves her readers and encourages self-consideration. Her expanded experiences with men who include her new boss provide food for thought about the nature of her choices and perceptions: "If Lee, my boss, whom I barely knew, took the time to take care of me better than my ex-boyfriend, someone who had supposedly loved me, I shouldn't have any problem finding someone better. Right?"</p><p><br></p><p><em>When the Wind Chimes</em> is easy reading: a journey of romance and self-examination which comes to life in the first person to bring readers to Hawaii and a young woman's recovery and growth. It is highly recommended for women who like their protagonists strong, flexible, and engaged in creating a new life. <strong><em> Midwest Book Review</em></strong></p><p><br></p><br>
