A face on a poster, a name in the news, an inexplicable
tragedy. A
promising young man goes out one warm summer evening and is
found
dead--murdered--”less than twenty-four hours later. No motive.
No clues.
No answers. Most people reflect briefly on the disturbing
headlines,
perhaps say a silent prayer of safely removed sympathy, and
go on with
their lives. But what if the young man was your son? Or your
true love?
Nearly a year after the death of eighteen-year-old
Charlie,
singer-songwriter Sheridan Rosslare still hasn't played a
note of the
music that was once her life's passion. Tucked away in the
beach house
where she raised her only child, she lives with her memories
of him and
a grief too big to share even with her beloved sisters or
her dear
friend Stevie Moore. Nor can Stevie comfort Charlie's
heartbroken
girlfriend, Nell Kilvert, whom she regards as a daughter.
Nell won't
rest until she finds out what really happened to the boy she
loved. Out
of the past she summons a man she believes cares enough, and
is tough
enough, to uncover the truth--Sheridan's long-ago soul mate,
Gavin
Dawson.
Now Gavin's boat, the Squire Toby, sits
anchored in the harbor within sight of the window of the
woman he once
loved, still loves, and will always love. Sheridan, too, had
once
fervently believed in the miraculous power of love and healing,
forgiveness, connection, and reconnection. But that faith
died along
with her son....
Unfolding among the Hubbard's Point
people and places that fans have come to treasure, and
replete with feeling and mystery, Last Kiss
weighs the power of the past to heal as well as wound, in a
captivating
tale of love, loss, and redemption that no reader will ever
forget.
