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 night of summer, Leila 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 a nation-especially not those who'd known her: Maeve Jameson, still mourning the loss of a granddaughter she had struggled to protect. . . Mark 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 eight-year-old daughter, Rose, far from the pain and loss of the past. Here she will meet a gifted teacher, 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.
