Here's the synopsis:
New York Times bestselling author Luanne Rice returns to Hubbard's Point,
Connecticut, and to characters from her beloved Beach Girls, to tell the
haunting story of a close-knit community grappling with a heartbreaking
mystery, and of a woman rebuilding her world and reclaiming a love she believed
lost a lifetime ago.
Last Kiss
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 reunion. But that faith died along with
her son....
Unfolding among the Hubbard's Point people and places fans have come to
treasure, 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.
