The Edge of Winter

by Luanne Rice

The Edge of Winter Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Neve Halloran and her daughter have shared a fierce love for the austere beauty of Rhode Islands South County ever since Neve guided Mickeys first baby steps along the sandy shore. Now, with Mickey a teenager and Neves last hope for happiness with her daughters loving but unstable father gone, both will struggle to make a new life together amid the windswept landscape that sustains them.

Captivated by a fragile wildlife sanctuary, Mickey will move toward womanhood in the company of a lonely boy who shares her instinctive way with the creatures of the coast. And Neve will find herself drawn to a man who has devoted his life to the sanctuary, but who is unable to share the pain of a recent lossor reconnect with the father who still bears the scars of World War II.

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. For the waters bear their own vestige of the pastand their ceaseless rhythms may point the way to hope and new beginnings.

Lyrical, luminous, and utterly captivating, The Edge of Winter is Luanne Rice at her most penetrating and insightful, in a moving exploration of the bonds that shape us and set us free.

From the Hardcover edition.

Synopsis:

A "New York Times" bestselling author takes readers on an emotional journey into the tender, unmapped territory that lies between mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, in a mesmerizing novel that reaches into the past to find the key to a boundless future. Bantam
