Dear Librarians,

Have you ever wanted to run away from your life? When Susannah Delaney discovers her son is being bullied and her teenage daughter is spinning out of control, she moves them to a remote island in the Pacific Northwest for a year. Susannah hopes their life there—without computers, phones or even electricity—will change them all. But the move threatens her marriage to the man she's loved since childhood, and her very sense of self.

The book began as my favorite escape fantasy, then turned into something much more. It also explores guilt and shame and how we learn to forgive ourselves. I hope you enjoy it.

"A wonderful, wonderful book. Transports you to another world."—Marisa de los Santos
