True Blue by Luanne Rice
I love all of the authors other books and don't recall having read this, nor had I ever left a review so am reading it.
Starts out at Hubbard Point where Elizabeth and Rumor are raised on the water by their parents. The mother dies and the father continues strongly on with the task.
Rumor likes the boy next door Zeb and we learn of the escapades they go through over the years that draw them closer. Elizabeth ends up marrying him and they all move out to the west coast and have a baby, Michael.
At their beginning Rumor would visit Elizabeth and Michael while Zeb was in TX for work-he studied the stars and the sky. That is what first fascinated her about him. She learns of her sisters drinking problem and informs Zeb she'd take the baby from her if it continued.
They do end up divorced and living where his job takes him. When they all come home 10+ years later the father has bought a boat to sail back to Ireland-his dream. They hate to see him go but he's in love with the idea and he can navigate just using the sky and math and science skills.
He tries to throw Zeb and Rumor together because he knows it should've been them all along. Zeb's house had been sold and the new owner is in town and making drastic changes to the land around it. Michael has his own love interest as he's heading off to college next year.
Rumor is a vet, local and she hates that the new owners want to exterminate the bunnies-it's a big mess with the cops involved.
Upheaval and you can't imagine how things get straightened out... Love this book for the detailed descriptions of the coast and woods and travel involved.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). ( )

Rumer and Zeb grew up together, best friends through the years. When they were in college things began to move beyond friendship into young love. But Zeb married the wrong woman, Rumer's sister Elizabeth. Twenty years later, now divorced Zeb, returns to Hubbard Point with his seventeen year old son to see if he can right a wrong and connect with his son. Luanne Rice at her best. ( )
