About this audiobook

A coming-of-middle-age story about second chances, the enduring bonds of friendship, and the power of nature to heal and guide us home.

Empty nest. Broken dreams. A single mom rediscovers her inner compass on the Potomac shores, guided by an ancient arrowhead and the captivating marsh man who found it.

Katie Young thought she had it all figured out. A fresh start in sunny Florida, a new husband, a thriving career. But life, like the tide, has a way of shifting course. Forced back to Virginia by the tragic loss of her mother, the family river house becomes her refuge from a storm no one saw coming.

Heartbroken and adrift, Katie explores the river on her dad’s old boat, questioning where . . . and with whom . . . she truly feels at home. Rekindled friendships around the beach bonfire spark new dreams in the little town of Occoquan.

But when a neighbor’s development threatens an eagle's nest, Katie finds herself fighting for her heart, her land, and a future she never dared to imagine. As the lovelorn cicadas emerge from decades in the dark, can Katie chart a new course toward a forever love?

The Cicada Spring, the first in the Potomac Shores series, is a poignant and heartwarming novel for women who are ready to rewrite their own stories and discover the strength that lies within.

What a lovely, feel good story. The Cicada Spring is my first book by Carolyn McBride and I'm looking forward to reading more soon. Courage and perseverance are the name of the game for Katie as she navigates her life. Life throws her a few really tough curve balls! Finding strength in herself and her friendships, Katie eventually makes it through. In fact, she's made it through and emerges as a stronger person and with better relationships than she had at the start of the book.
