Joanne McMullen gives up her job and life on the west coast to spend the summer with her sister and brother-in-law on a remote island off the coast of Maine. Her sister, Mary, has had a miscarriage, and Mary's mental state is concerning to Jo. Soon, however, there is much more to worry about. Something is amiss in the house, and family history and a family mystery, from many generations past, must be sorted out before lives no longer hang in the balance.

I so enjoyed this book. In many respects, the writing style is similar to that of Phyllis A. Whitney, so I felt right at home reading this book. But I enjoyed this book in its own right as well. Definitely an author I plan to add to my reading circle.
