Publisher Description
Recovering from the death of her son and the end of her marriage, Kelsey Stewart goes to stay with her aunt at her seaside inn in Carmel, California, looking only for retreat. But a local emergency unexpectedly brings Kelsey’s troubled heart back to life again.
When a young boy falls from one of the sea cliffs, Kelsey, a therapist specializing in brain-damaged children, is recruited to help rehabilitate him. Kelsey finds herself developing feelings for the boy as well as for his mysterious father. But as her involvement with Jody and his family deepens, an astonishing mystery unfolds, leading Kelsey to suspect that the boy’s anguished condition is not solely due to his accident. It is a mystery that hints at the occult, a mystery of dangerous evil that could ultimately free Kelsey to love with all her heart—or else destroy her forever.

"In the past I was an avid Phyllis Whitney fan. So it has been awhile since I re read the ones I own. I was curious to see if my appetite for her had changed. So far it hasn't, she is well worth reading for her ability to put you there with the story. "
— Priscilla (4 out of 5 stars)

" Why did I bother to give Whitney another try? This was my third and last. I love gothic and romantic suspense, but there are so many better authors out there with out some sort of incest or sisters sharing lovers or husbands. "

" For the most part a very engaging story with well developed characters. I'm usually one who sees what's coming LONG before the end of the book...but I didn't see this ending coming!!! Easy read. "
