Firefly Beach by Luanne Rice
Have read the other works by the author and love them all. This will be a good read also.
Starts out with the three sisters, coming home to Firefly Beach.
Decades ago his father was killed and the girls witnessed it as young girls. The man stated his wife was off with their father and didn't love him anymore and he wanted to take what their father loved-one of the girls. Caroline wrote to Joe, the son about things around town. She had once mentioned the wreck off the coast that she could see from her house.
Augusta now runs an artist colony and the girls live closeby. The oceanographers want accommodating for the summer, they salvage buried treasures in shipwrecks.
Sky wishes it was her that had been shot and drinks heavily and gets into a car crash. As she heals we learn of things from the past and realize how much the events had on her life.
Love the light keepers daughter diary and how it brings the whole book together along with letter excerpts from Joe and Caroline as younger kids.
Story also follows the other sisters and their lives during the months...liked hearing of the sisters bond with one another but the males have something just as good...
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). ( )

Interesting book about sisters and relationships. ( )

A most unexpected read this book turned out to be. I expected a romance, got a mystery with thrills and a plot so real you can actually see it happening in someone's everyday life. For all you romance readers looking for something different and new, this is the book for you. ( )

Typical Rice story of family relationships. This family harbors many secrets and tragedy that affected the three sisters growing up. Caroline is the oldest and most reserved, running a small inn and caring for her sisters and mother. Clea is next and is married, the serene one and least affected by the family tragedies. And Skye is the youngest, a passionate artist, alcoholic and married to a bad man. The mother, Augusta, is reserved, pulled away from her daughters by her lingering love for her deceased husband and the events of many years ago. Along comes Joe Connor, oceanographer and treasurer hunter who is the catalyst for change in this family. ( )

Luanne Rice captured my attention with Safe Harbor. I have enjoyed all of her novels. They truly speak of the one thing everyone longs for........love. ( )
