The Old Peabody Pew ⛪ Part 2 | Sleep Story for Adults by Kate Wiggin

Tonight on Chapter & Pillow, we reach the conclusion of The Old Peabody Pew by Kate Douglas Wiggin. In this final part, the village church is completely decorated and ready for the holiday service. For a woman named Nancy, sitting in the old Peabody family pew brings back deep memories of a quiet romance from her youth. As the community gathers together in the evening light, an unexpected return shows how old bonds can quietly mend. Listen First: If you missed the beginning of this village tale, make sure to catch The Old Peabody Pew (Part 1) before diving into tonight's conclusion. This soft, ad-free narration features slow pacing to help you quiet your thoughts, let go of the day, and drift off naturally. Behind the Story: Even though the church community in this book is fictional, Wiggin actually dedicated the story to a real group of New England women she knew in her own life. She loved writing about intelligent, hardworking women who made their own corners of the universe a pleasant place to live, which shines through beautifully in this sweet story.
