Through an heirloom charm bracelet, three women will rediscover the importance of family and a passion for living as each charm changes their lives.
On her birthday each year, Lolly’s mother gave her a charm, along with the advice that there is nothing more important than keeping family memories alive, and so Lolly’s charm bracelet would be a constant reminder of that love.
Now seventy and starting to forget things, Lolly knows time is running out to reconnect with a daughter and granddaughter whose lives have become too busy for Lolly or her family stories.
But when Arden, Lolly’s daughter, receives an unexpected phone call about her mother, she and granddaughter Lauren rush home. Over the course of their visit, Lolly reveals the story behind each charm on her bracelet, and one by one the family stories help Lolly, Arden, and Lauren reconnect in a way that brings each woman closer to finding joy, love, and faith.
A compelling story of three women and a beautiful reminder of the preciousness of family, The Charm Bracelet is a keepsake you’ll cherish long after the final page.

From the Author:
Welcome!
The Charm Bracelet is a tribute to my Ozarks grandmother, Viola Shipman, who I grewup alongside, the jangling of her charm bracelet as ever-present as the moan ofthe bullfrogs, the call of the whippoorwill and the hum of the cicadas.
It was through the charms on my grandmother'sbracelet that I got to know her. I found that each charm held a story, a keythat unlocked a secret part of her life.
Through these charms, I got to know mygrandmother not just as a grandmother but also as an incredible woman who hadlived an extraordinary life filled with beauty, hope and tragedy.
My grandmother's story and life jangled in myhead for years, and I felt compelled to write a novel based on her charms andthe lessons she taught me: That the simplest things in life - family, friends,faith, fun, love, and a passion for what you do - truly are the grandest gifts.
I couldn't be prouder of this novel, which not only honorsmy grandmother, with the pen name Viola Shipman, but also all of our elders.
I hope you're "charmed"!

Wade Rouse
