[Martha's Vineyard 01] • Des vagues au coeur

Some promises can never be forgotten....

The author of the bestselling **Birthday Girls** and **Places by the Sea,**

Jean Stone is a gifted storyteller in the tradition of Barbara Delinsky.  In

this deeply enthralling novel of friendship and family, a woman must face the

secrets of the past before she can confront the future....

**I am your baby--the one you gave up.  Isn't it time we met?**

The unsigned letter, postmarked Martha's Vineyard, arrives like a thunderbolt

out of the blue, instantly sweeping Jessica Bates back thirty years.  It was

1968 when young Jess went to Larchwood Hall, a home for unwed mothers, and

gave up her beautiful baby girl for adoption.  Jess's past still haunts her--

especially since she learned that her daughter died in a tragic childhood

accident.

But now the letter has raised the fragile hope that there was a terrible mix-

up, that Jess's daughter is still alive somewhere.  Hoping for answers, Jess

makes a determined pilgrimage out to the Vineyard, out to those who know the

truth about what really happened to her daughter.  There, surrounded by sand

and sea and memories of lost love, she must make a choice that will change the

course of her life forever....
