Home fires

by Luanne Rice

Anne Davis has returned to the house where she grew up, trading a seemingly charmed life jetting between her Manhattan penthouse and France for a harsh winter on a wind-whipped New England island. In the wake of tragedy and loss, she has come back to the home on Salt Whistle Road that has always meant shelter, security, family, and love. Here she hopes to heal, holding on to treasured memories of her child and the life she shared with her husband, Matt. But fate intervenes, turning her onto a path she never expected. When she awakens one snowy night to a fire that roars through the old house, Anne escapes - but runs back into the blaze to save something so precious that it's worth risking her life for. It is that reckless act of blind desperation that sets a miracle in motion ... and signals a new beginning.
