Love, Loss, and the Gift of second chances...
Beneath his controlled demeanor, attoryney John O'Rourke is a man in turmoil. Since the death of his wife, he has been juggling the rigors of a controversial capital murder case and the demands of raising two children. As eleven-year-old Maggie and fourteen-year-old Teddy long for the past, they must also contend with the hostility that swirls around them since their father took on the defense of a despised killer - including a brick through their window one autumn morning.
But a quieter event also takes place that day. A woman arrives on the O'Rourke doorstep to find a household in chaos but brimming with love -- and, she hopes, answers. Six months ago Kate Harris's younger sister fled from home following a devastating confrontation. After mailing a single postcard from the New England shore, Willa Harris vanished. With only a postmark to go on, Kate comes to the seaside -- and discovers the one man who may be able to help her...

Just finished this one last night... Not my usual read, but I got caught up in the children's part of the story... Maggie and her older brother Teddy and how they were reacting to the changes in their world...
I don't usually read murder mysteries.. but this one did catch me right off with the first chapter. A brick through the window does tend to catch your attention... and a twisty ending tops it off nicely! I enjoyed this book and will look for more by Luanne Rice.
I'll be releasing this one at the Meet-UP Saturday...
