Overview

THE STORY OF TWO SISTERS AND THE BOY NEXT DOOR...

The acclaimed author of Firefly Beach and other New York Times bestsellers, Luanne Rice returns to the Connecticut beach town at the center of many of her beloved novels with a spellbinding story of a love lost -- and saved -- by the power of what was always meant to be...

Schoolteacher Rumer Larkin never felt the need to stray from Hubbard's Point. Rich with legends of seafaring spirits and lost treasures, the rustic village echoes with the memories of Rumer's past -- even after those she loved have left. Many summers after Zeb Mayhew broke her heart, he returns with his teenage son, and Rumer knows her quiet life will never be the same again.

Zeb has come back hoping to reconnect with his son, with the past and all its mistakes. Suddenly facing Rumer again, Zeb discovers where he belongs. He could never forget the girl who used to climb onto his roof with him to watch the stars. Both Zeb and Rumer wonder if it's too late to do more than regret the path not taken -- or of every path leads us back to the one true love of our life...

In True Blue, bestselling novelist Luanne Rice spins the unforgettable story of a woman who must cope with the dramatic return of a man from her past -- and the fragile hope that the most cherished dreams might come true after all...
