Now, with Mickey a teenager and Neve’s last hope for happiness with her daughter’s loving but unstable father gone, both will struggle to make a new life together amid the windswept landscape that sustains them.
As winter gives way to spring, and spring to summer, a secret will emerge that has lain buried in the depths just offshore for decades, a secret that will galvanize the small seaside community.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“An involving tale of love, loss, and redemption, then deepens the story with a resonant appreciation for nature.”—Booklist

Enjoyable

A great listen. Typical of Luanne Rice's other works this book has strong character and plot development and a well defined and delivered emotional context.

enjoyable

Slow at first, but enjoyable once you get into it. The descriptions of the landscapes were my favorite part.

couldn't get through it

I listened for about a hour and went back to the website to see if this book was in the Juvenile Fiction category. It was not. The story line was interesting enough, but there has to be more to the development of a relationship between characters than "looking deeply into each others' eyes." This happened one too many times for me and I wasn't halfway through the book. I don't plan to go back and finish it.
