I really found it hard to believe that this was her first novel. I thoroughly enjoyed it and appreciated her character development. It's not the Great American Novel but it is an enjoyable read and I think exceptional for a first effort. I can see why she has gone on to be successful.
Luanne Rice's Books are great comfort food!

I began with one Luanne Rice book. I liked her writing so much that I have now purchased all but three. These books are exceptional. They are the sort of book that one wants to read in one reading. I prefer the warm propped up pillows and cuddly blanket on a cold winter's night with warm hot chocolate (made with 1 or 2% milk) at my bedside. Yes, her books are great comfort food for the mind! Also, so far the books that I have read take place in the north east. . .all come with great geography lessons and discriptions!
A great read from Luanne Rice

Luanne rice's first novel; this one begins a bit slowly, but by the time you are a third through the book, you don't want to put it down. this is the story of three sisters who grew up on the northeast coast. Each chose a different path to follow, and yet they maintained a very close relationship. If you don't have a sister, it makes you mourn the fact. Ms. Rice's books make me want to travel to the scene of so many of her stories. She paints a picture of beaches and lighthouses, summer sun and fresh breezes, a feeling of ghosts and sea captain wives looking out to sea. You invest in her characters and want to know what will happen to them.
Beautiful read!
