Rosie Brown refuses to let them stay broken.Ten-year-old Rosie Brown ("going on eleven") spends her days helping in her widowed mother's waterfront cafe in the tiny Maine village of Hawkins Cove. She's fearless, endlessly resourceful, and convinced that nearly every problem can be solved with enough determination-and perhaps a little stubbornness.Arthur Brock believes otherwise.Haunted by a promise he failed to keep during the Vietnam War, the former Marine has spent years drifting through life aboard his aging sailboat, carrying a burden he cannot outrun. When fate brings him to Hawkins Cove, he expects only to settle old debts. Instead, he meets a remarkable little girl who refuses to accept that some lives are beyond saving.As friendship deepens into something that begins healing them both, Arthur discovers that redemption sometimes arrives in the most unexpected form. But when a terrifying accident on the rugged Maine coast puts Rosie in mortal danger, he must decide whether he is willing to risk everything to keep one final promise.Rich with unforgettable characters, coastal charm, humor, and hope, Rosie is an uplifting novel about courage, forgiveness, family, and the extraordinary power one determined child has to change a wounded man's life forever.Perfect for readers who enjoy the heartfelt storytelling of Richard Russo, Elizabeth Strout, Nicholas Sparks, and Fredrik Backman.
