In her remarkable "New York Times" bestseller, "Summer Island,"
Kristin Hannah struck a chord in readers and critics alike with her
portrayal of the bittersweet reunion between an errant mother and
her unforgiving daughter. Now Hannah once again reveals the fragile
ties that bind a family in transition, as two people choose to
escape the limits of their ordinary lives and reach for the
extraordinary promise that lies on "Distant Shores,"
Elizabeth and Jackson Shore married young, raised two daughters,
and weathered the storms of youth as they built a future together.
But after the children leave home, they quietly drift apart. When
Jack accepts a wonderful new job offer, Elizabeth puts her needs
aside to follow him across the country. Until the sudden death of
her father changes everything.
Grieving and alone, she retreats to an isolated beach house where
she packs away the last remnants of her parents' lives. There, the
pieces of a past she never knew unfold to reveal a tender story of
lasting devotion, the kind of steadfast commitment that Elizabeth
admits is missing from her own marriage. Faced with her own
disillusionment, she makes a terrifying decision, risking
everything she has for a second chance at happiness.
Enriched by soul-stirring emotion and an appreciation for the
simple joy of everyday miracles, "Distant Shores" is an exquisite
reminder of the most precious gifts in life: friends and family,
children and lovers, the strength to change, and the courage to
forgive-all flawlessly captured by the graceful hands of Kristin
Hannah.
