Book description
It is New Year's Eve when the storm of the century hits northern
California. For Quinn Thompson, what happens in the storm's wake will
bring down a barrier he has built around himself since his wife's
death. For neighbor Maggie Dartman, it will spark friendship at a time
when she needs it most. And for Jack Adams, a carpenter who will
repair Quinn's and Maggie's homes, the storm brings an opportunity: to
help two people and to be repaid with the greatest gift of all. Then
something extraordinary begins to happen . . . Maggie, still grieving
a loss, slowly comes alive again - and Jack finally shares a painful
secret he has hidden for years. But Quinn, a man who has scaled
heights of success in business, is now adrift, waiting as builders put
the finishing touches on his newest passion, a 180-foot yacht he plans
to sail around the world. Looking back at all he missed with his
family while he built his empire, Quinn is consumed by guilt, focused
only on escaping to the sea. But as his plans near completion, and his
friendship with Maggie begins to change, Quinn faces a choice -
between a safe haven and an adventure of the heart.
