Book Reviews
Heartwarming and assured, Rice's latest novel addresses timeless themes and will linger with readers long after the reading is done.... Rice's ability to evoke the lyricism of the seaside lifestyle without over-sentimentalizing contemporary issues... is just one of the many gifts that make this a perfect summer read.
Publishers Weekly
Rice revisits the small Connecticut town of Hubbard's Point, adding another family to the long list of residents from her previous books.... A loving look at family and the issues that must be faced when a crisis threatens its cohesion. —Patty Engelman
