With every New York Times bestseller, Luanne Rice
illuminates yet another of the secret wonders of the heart.
Her unforgettable evocations of family, friendship, and
loves lost and won in such novels as The Edge of
Winter, Sandcastles, and Summer of Roses
give voice to our most powerful emotions. Now she brings
back two of her most beloved characters to tell of their
journey across the sea to unravel the mysteries of a shared
past—and two undying love affairs.…
What Matters
Most
Sister Bernadette Ignatius has returned to
Ireland in the company of Tom Kelly to search for the
past—and the son—they left behind. For it was here that
these two long-ago lovers spent a season of magic before
Bernadette’s calling led her to a vocation as Mother
Superior at Star of the Sea Academy on the sea-tossed
Connecticut shore. For Tom, Bernadette’s choice meant giving
up his fortune and taking the job as caretaker at Star of
the Sea, where he could be close to the woman he could no
longer have but whom he never stopped loving. And while one
miracle drew them apart, another is about to bring them
together again.
For somewhere in Dublin a young man
named Seamus Sullivan is also on a search, dreaming of being
reunited with his own first love, the only “family” he’s
ever known. They’d been inseparable growing up together at
St. Augustine’s Children’s Home, until Kathleen Murphy’s
parents claimed her and she vanished across the sea to
America. Now, in a Newport mansion, that very girl, grown to
womanhood, works as a maid and waits with a faith that
defies all reason for the miracle that will bring back the
only boy she’s ever loved.
That miracle is at
hand—but like most miracles, it can come only after the
darkest of nights and the deepest of heartbreaks. For life
can be as precarious as a walk along a cliff, and its
greatest rewards reached only by those who dare to risk
everything…for what matters most.
