Publisher's summary

THERE'S A PLACE IN OUR HEARTS RESERVED FOR MIRACLES . . .

From Luanne Rice, the celebrated author of Beach Girls and many other New York Times bestsellers, comes this powerful novel of a mystery, a love affair, and a bond that cannot be broken set in a seaside town where miracles are made . . .

On the first day of summer, Mara Jameson went out to water her garden—and was never seen again. Years after her disappearance, no one could forget the expectant mother whose glowing smile had captured the heart of everyone who'd known her: Maeve Jameson, still mourning the loss of a granddaughter she had struggled to protect . . . Patrick Murphy, a dogged police detective obsessed with a vanished woman . . . and Lily Malone, drawn to the rugged beauty of the Nova Scotia coast and its promise of a new life.

Here Lily hopes to raise her nine-year-old daughter, Rose, far from the pain and loss of the past. Here she will meet a gifted scientist, Liam Neill, whose life is on a similar trajectory from heartbreak to hope. And before the season is over, Lily will find the magic that exists in people we love the best . . . the everyday miracles that can make the extraordinary happen anywhere.

The Best! 5 🌟

I read Summer's Child when it first came out. It's the story that began my reading obsession! How wonderful to hear the story on Audible, and what a lovely voice and narration! I hope the sequel comes alive on Audible soon!

Listened in a couple of days.

I enjoy Luanne Rice’s books and this one was set in NS where I used to live so I could really picture the scenery:) My only problem is with the ending…I still have questions so I hope there is a sequel!!
