Lucretia Sanderson has a secret. Lucretia and her mother have come
to tiny Candle Island, Maine (Population: Summer, 986; Winter, 315) to
escapeâescape memories of the car accident that killed her father and escape
the journalists that hound her mother, a famous and reclusive artist. The rocky
coast and ocean breeze are a welcome respite for Lucretia, who dedicates her
summer days to painting, exploring the island, and caring for an orphaned

With an unforgettable New England setting and a complex web of relationships
