Is love always worth saving no matter what the cost? Peter Webster, a rookie paramedic, pulls a young woman from her wrecked car. Sheila Arsenault is a gorgeous enigma - streetwise and tough-talking, with haunted eyes and fierce desires. Soon Sheila and Peter are embroiled in an intense love affair. Eighteen years later and Peter is raising their teenage daughter, Rowan, alone. But Rowan is veering off course and Peter fears for her future. He seeks out the only person who may be able to help her...

This is a very good read, the story line a little pretictive but so endearing.

A very addictive read.

An absolutely brilliant story, beautifully narrated by Laurence Bouvard who really brought the characters alive. Anita Shreve writes such brilliant books, each one is different but all that l have read so far have been superb

I am a huge fan of Anita Shreve. This story was engaging but the plot lacked some of the interesting twists and turns of the best novels. The reader is good but not at her best with male voices.

Not quite as good as the best.

I have enjoyed Anita Shreve's books but found this one to be predictable and with nothing new to say. It was not helped by a poor performance by the reader. She is unable to do male voices, so compensates but shouting whenever a male character is speaking.

Disappointing

I gave the story 4 stars because I love Anita Shreve! However, I didn't get to find out what happened after chapter 2 because the narration completely put me off. To me it sounded like every male voice was harsh & forced (& the same) & totally interfered with my ability to hear the story. Frustrating.

Irritating narration!
