Summary
Neve Halloran and her teenage daughter, Mickey, struggle to build a new life together amid the harsh beauty of a wildlife sanctuary in Rhode Island's South County, as Mickey grows to womanhood in the company of a lonely boy who shares her love of the wild creatures of the coast, and Neve finds herself drawn to a troubled man dedicated to preserving the sanctuary. Simultaneous.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Neve Halloran and her daughter have shared a fierce love for the austere beauty of Rhode Islandâs South County ever since Neve guided Mickeyâs first baby steps along the sandy shore. Now, with Mickey a teenager and Neveâs last hope for happiness with her daughterâs 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 lossâor 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 pastâand 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.
