Renowned photographer Maggie Henry is on a shoot in Central America when she receives shocking news. Marco Firelli, the only man she ever loved, drowned while he was trying to save a fellow kayaker. She flies to the San Juan Islands off the coast of Washington State to comfort his widow, Lena, and their three children. At the same time, she secretly mourns her own loss. Maggie, Lena, and Marco had been close friends in college, but Marco had chosen Lena. Living with Lena and the children, Maggie soon realizes that the bonds of this adopted family are worth more than her unreciprocated feelings for Marco. Linden's characters are deeply flawed, but their humanity shines through. And the hushed tone captures the loss and grief experienced by the protagonists.
VERDICT Linden's debut novel is a bittersweet tale of enduring friendship, family ties, and the complexities of love that will engage readers of thoughtful women's fiction.
