Safe Harbour is such a lovely novel. I first read it when I was 11 years old and loved the mermaid poem so much. The realistic way in which the author described the bond between two beloved sisters, Dana and Lily, and the dramatic storylines involving the sea captivate me every time. I still love this book and could read it again and again. ( )

Free spirit artist comes home to New England to care for her sister's children; looks for the meaning of her death, finds a man to love to make them a family again ( )

Even with a tragedy in which two children lose their parents, this is one of the most charming stories I have read in a long time. Luanne Rice, in my opinion, writes some of the greatest love stories today - and this one is no exception. Dana Underhill has spent her entire life travelling, living freely, being the artist she was born to be. Then, her sister and brother-in-law lose their lives in a horrible accident and it is up to her to take care of her two nieces. With the help of a boy she saved when she was young, Dana learns the true meaning of love, life, family, and most importantly home.

Artist, Dana, has always been nomadic following the waters for her underwater seascapes. When her beloved sister, Lily, and brother-in-law die in a boating accident, Dana returns home to CT to care for her nieces, Quinn and Allie. The plan is to return with them to her life in France. The plan is interrupted by the needs of the young girls and the appearance of a young boy (now a man) from her past. Another good Luanne Rice book about love and the strength found in familes. ( )
