Wren Waters is attempting to rebuild her life after a devastating loss and a heartbreaking betrayal. Her quest of self re-discovery leads to a new hobby; geocaching - the outdoor activity of using GPS to look for hidden objects - and a solo trip where she meets Marshall Hendricks.
Marshall, a fellow geocaching fan, is a handsome psychologist searching for an escape after suffering his own loss. Wren is not looking for company, but when Marshall saves her from a dangerous situation, she agrees to work together in the interest of safety.
In close proximity, Wren and Marshall’s attraction intensifies, as does their emotional connection through their shared grief and heartbreak. However, while Wren is able to open up Marshall, he is reluctant to share anything too personal.
Wren can envision a future with Marshall, but she has sworn that she will never again accept just scraps from a potential partner. Marshall's reluctance to share all of himself makes Wren leave Oregon believing she is unlikely to ever see him again.
Wren and Marshall's journey to a happy ending was not an easy one, but it was a worthy one. All of the angst had a purpose; character growth and a healthy new start to a relationship.
The Trail of Lost Hearts was a beautifully written story about grief, self-discovery, and love after loss.
