Return to Kiss River in the second emotional novel in the acclaimed trilogy from bestselling author Diane Chamberlain.

Separated by a continent from her child, Gina Higgins comes to Kiss River with little more than a desperate plan. Now, saving her daughter depends on whether she can uncover a message buried deep below the ocean's surface.
