More Than Words Can Say: A Novel
A teacher discovers life-changing family secrets and a chance at love in a lakeside cabin in this tender novel by the author of If Wishes Were Horses.

Chelsea Enright never expected to inherit her grandmother’s lakeside cottage deep in the Adirondacks—a serene getaway that had been mysteriously closed up decades ago. This is no simple bequest, however, because when Chelsea finds her grandmother’s WWII diaries, she’s stunned to discover that they hold secrets she never suspected . . . and they have the power to turn her own life upside down.

Even more surprising is the compelling presence of local doctor Brandon Yale, and Chelsea soon finds her “short stay” has stretched into the entire summer. She cannot put this cottage and her family’s past behind her easily—and the more she learns about the woman her grandmother truly was, the more Chelsea’s own life begins to change . . . and nothing will ever be the same again.

Praise for More Than Words Can Say

“[A] sweet, misty-eyed, and unabashedly old-fashioned romance. . . . In Robert Barclay’s minutely described, almost too-lovely world, all the women are endearing, most of the men are appealing, and everyone tries very hard to be strong.” —New York Journal of Books

“Barclay has delivered a completely satisfying tale, in fact one of the most satisfying reads I can recall.” —Fresh Fiction
