FAMILY MAN "Settle down for a warm, wonderful read by the talented Roz Denny Fox!" —Kristin Hannah A Child Is Rescued from the Sea Daisy Sloan is B.O.I. ("Born on Island"—Galveson, that is) and a shrimper by trade. One day, she anchors her trawler in a secluded bay called Rum Row, notorious for its illegal exchanges. A luxury yacht anchors nearby—and explodes. There's only one survivor, a little girl. Daisy pulls her from the sea. A Family Man Finds His Lost Daughter Temple Wyatt—owner of hotels and builder of resorts. He adores his only child, five-year-old Rebecca. Then she's kidnapped by her mother (Temple's ex-wife) and disappears without a trace—until she shows up in a Galveston hospital, months later. With her is a woman called Daisy Sloan, a woman who's far too casual, too irreverent—too delightful—for his peace of mind. But Rebecca desperately needs Daisy. Which means that Temple needs her, too. In more ways than he ever could have guessed!

Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
"A gripping tale of compulsion, obsession, and forgiveness, set so evocatively amidst the fogs and furies of the offseason Maine coast. It's also an intriguing exploration of the ways in which our ancestral pasts echo within our own psyches." --Lisa Alther, author of Kinflicks and Kinfolks As children, Tam and her older brother were swimming when she suffered her first epileptic seizure. He pulled her from the water and was crowned a hero. Tam was labeled “disabled” and never swam again. And so began 30 years of vigilance, never allowing her body to betray her, never allowing her brother or her family or anyone else to influence her path. Now, in middle age, a lifetime’s worth of control has taken its toll. Exhausted, she heads to Maine where, while working on a genealogy project, she falls under the spell of two dead women: an ancestor, Mary Catherine, who died at 33; the other, the town ghost. Through their cloistered, tragic lives Tam relives her own life over and over--until a distant cousin forces her to see herself in a new light. This novel of one woman's quest to transcend self-imposed limitations is superbly crafted and richly satisfying, and "shows us how, through resuscitating our pasts, and rescuing each other, we might just save ourselves" (Alex Shakar, author of Savage Girl).
