Haven Lake

"New from the author of Beach Plum Island..."A natural-born storyteller" (Yona Zeldis McDonough, author of Two of a Kind) presents a gripping story about grief, anger, and the healing power of love. Sydney Bishop hasn't returned to Haven Lake, her idyllic childhood home, since a pair of shocking, tragic deaths shattered her family when she was only sixteen. Now a child psychologist engaged to marry a successful surgeon, Sydney has worked hard to build a relationship with Dylan, her fiance's teenage son, so she feels nothing but empathy when he runs away--until she discovers that his hitchhiking journey has led him to Haven Lake and her mother Hannah's sheep farm. Sydney returns to Haven Lake for the first time in twenty years to coax the boy home. Against her daughter's wishes, Hannah offers to take Dylan in until he's ready to reveal his own troubling secrets. Now, for Dylan's sake as well as their own, Sydney and Hannah must confront the devastating events that tore them apart and answer the questions that still haunt their family--and the suspicious surrounding community--about what really caused two people to die on their farm those many years ago.
