Welcome to Whispering Pines, a quaint resort on the serene shores in Minnesota lake country, and a heartwarming saga that beautifully weaves together the complexities of modern family life with the unexpected gifts of midlife reinvention.

Two weeks ahead of Christmas, a jarring layoff from a twenty-year career sends single mother Renee Clements back to life's crossroads. She's been here before. Reluctant but resilient, she prepares to dive into the job hunt. Or is it finally time to focus on her own dreams instead of building someone else's? While the idea is tempting, she's still responsible for raising two teenagers.

Frustrated, Renee pushes pause. She'll wait until after the holidays to make any life-altering decisions. A serendipitous trip to Fiji and a chance encounter with a handsome stranger offers a glimmer of romance, but now isn't the time to add yet another complication to her already messy world.

Could the final bequest by her dear Aunt Celia provide the answers? The opportunity to reopen Whispering Pines, a charming and historic lake resort, beckons her to a path less traveled. It's not just a potential business venture; it's a legacy passed down to her, a gift wrapped in memories and possibilities.

Torn between a longing to recreate the idyllic childhood summers she spent at her aunt's resort and facing the challenges of her current reality, Renee will have to choose. Perhaps, along the way, she'll discover more than she ever expected.

Whispering Pines, book one in the Celia's Gifts series, explores the depths of motherhood, the courage required to navigate and embrace change, and the unbreakable ties of family.

Lied the characters and their back stories. Web of family, friends and neighbors weaves together into a lovely quilt.

Great read!. Loved this book. Look forward to read more by the author.

I’m jealous.. I often look back and wish I had made different choices. Don’t we all? Enjoy. This is a great read.

Pri364

such long chapters.. The story started so slow. The suspense didn’t start until by the end of the book already. And I’m not sure how to feel about the romance story of this book. I gave it two stars and not one because some of the suspense parts were actually jaw dropping.

CynPSam

Enjoyed the Read. Although I enjoyed the read it was a little too “sappy.” I’ll give the next book a try. CynPSam

Whispering Pines. Too much foul language to be a good family read. Could easily have left out the love scenes. The writer seems rather talented to have such a limited vocabulary and think that her readers need the graphic descriptions of love scenes.

Chelley_27

Much needed. I enjoyed every page of this book. I could relate a lot to Renae and it also gave me insight

Brioi

😊. I really enjoyed this book. I read it in just a few days as I couldn’t wait to see what happened next.

Great easy read. Easy book to pass some time.

Renee’s midlife crisis. I liked Renee immediately and loved that she was a mature, intelligent woman. I also liked the other characters in the novel; but I thought the book was too long. There was too much detail about the remodeling of the property. And I would have liked more about the family dynamic instead, including more about aunt Cecile. And does every author have to have steamy sex scenes to hold the reader’s attention? I would like to read another book about this feisty woman, and will recommend it to my book club.

😍😍😍. Loved it

Whispering Pines. I really enjoyed reading Whispering Pines. I think we all can remember childhood family vacations and have great memories from them. This is the first novel I have read of Kimberly Diede and I loved how the story flowed and moved quickly through Renee’s life and experiences. I can’t wait to read the next one. Karen

Yay! A Mid-Life Story. Can’t wait to continue this series. So many questions unanswered. This book was fantastic!

TXNana394

Great read!. So nice to read something positive and encouraging about more mature (older) characters especially women. Loved the physical descriptions of Whispering Pines and exotic Fiji along with the developing love story. Can’t wait to read more about Aunt Celia’s legacy!

Page Turner. Great suspense great story

Cdd author

Good story. Enjoyed the story and the characters - kept me interested, but was turned off by the language. Totally gratuitous. Probably won’t read another by this author.

Puppies are sooo cute

Idyllic feel good read. I enjoyed reading this, it was the sort of book that engages you but doesn’t stress you out. It’s very tidy , with neat , satisfactory endings. Delightfully predictable and easy to follow. First book I’ve finished in years, very grateful for the style of writing, moves at an even pace, perfect for me. I would suspect busy moms would love this !

Boo baee

Loved. Absolutely beautiful! I did not think I was going to get into it at first, but I fell in love. Such wonderful writing and character development!

Maxwardog

Pleasant Read. Somewhat more detailed than I was comfortable with. Especially the intimate details of the main characters sex life. Otherwise, a fairly good read.

Outstanding. Truly enjoyed this story. A woman with decisions to make n her mid-life. Just enough intrigue and romance to enjoy. Loved the thought processes as Renee faces life with all its messiness.
