A powerful novel of a mystery, a love affair, and a bond that cannot be broken set in a seaside town where miracles are made...

There's a place in our hearts reserved for miracles... From Luanne Rice, the celebrated author of BEACH GIRLS and many other New York Times bestsellers, comes this powerful novel of a mystery, a love affair, and a bond that cannot be broken set in a seaside town where miracles are made... On the first day of summer, Mara Jameson went out to water her garden - and was never seen again. Years after her disappearance, no one could forget the expectant mother whose glowing smile had captured the heart of everyone who'd known her- Maeve Jameson, still mourning the loss of a granddaughter she had struggled to protect... Patrick Murphy, a dogged police detective obsessed with a vanished woman... and Lily Malone, drawn to the rugged beauty of the Nova Scotia coast and its promise of a new life. Here Lily hopes to raise her nine-year-old daughter, Rose, far from the pain and loss of the past. Here she will meet a gifted scientist, Liam Neill, whose life is on a similar trajectory from heartbreak to hope. And before the season is over, Lily will find the magic that exists in people we love the best... the everyday miracles that can make the extraordinary happen anywhere.

Reviews for Summer's Child

Resonant and beautifully written, this novel offers a lyrical meditation on healing, a setting as soft and colorful as beach glass and a story that's both suspenseful and tender.... Rice excels at weaving the familiar staples of popular fiction into storytelling gold; her talent for portraying both children at risk and good men scarred by circumstance also dazzles. Above all, this book--one of Rice's best in recent years--depicts the magical endurance of love with the sensitivity and realism for which she's known. --Publishers Weekly, Starred Review Rice, a terrific storyteller and a poetic stylist, takes on a difficult and brutal subject and transforms it into a source of light and hope. --Booklist
