From the author of The Man Who Loved Jane Austen and The
Maidenstone Lighthouse comes a heartwarming, unforgettable
novel set on the ruggedly beautiful island of Cape Fear in
the Carolinas, where a man determined to retreat from the
world discovers the redemptive power of unexpected
love.
With its rough gray shingles and weathered
slate roof, Sea Pines cottage seems, at first glance, past
its prime. But inside this remote fisherman's house, a
driftwood fire crackles in the fireplace, brightly colored
rugs cover the floor, and cozy cushions dot the worn,
welcoming furniture. A young man named Robert has
retreated after the war, planning to spend his days
writing, tending to the local lighthouse, and nursing his
injuries-physical and mental. For company, he adopts a
young Golden Retriever puppy named Meteor, who happily
settles into life at Sea Pines, delighting in his master's
loving care.
Robert and Meteor spend months in
quiet companionship, until the day Robert rescues a young
woman from a storm at sea. Strong-willed and intelligent,
Laura sees past Robert's injuries to the proud, passionate
man beneath, and-with some matchmaking help from Meteor-
they begin a new life together at the cottage. When their
son, Nicholas, is born on Christmas Eve, Meteor
immediately becomes the little boy's most loyal friend.
But even Meteor's tireless devotion can't protect his
cherished family from all of life's unexpected challenges-
hurdles that will teach each of them lessons of courage,
faith, friendship, and the enduring love that can sustain
us through life's coldest seasons.
