Description

Surviving the Halifax Explosion is one thing, but how do Lucy Caines and her wayward husband, Harry, a couple who lose everything to the event's horrors, make peace with their grief? Rebuilding on the rustic shores of Halifax's Northwest Arm, steps from where the shaft of the Mont Blanc's anchor lands that fateful day in 1917. But coping with the disappearance on that day of their infant daughter, they descend into an isolating denial: Lucy through guilt and reticence, and Harry through drinking and gambling. Despite the birth of a treasured son, each faces a future clouded by fear and apprehension. Then, fifty-two years after the catastrophe, Harry suffers a stroke. Lucy confronts the miracle of their survival and their debilitating loss, re-examining the past and her role in its making, and struggling to become the author of her own happiness.

Interesting book. I admit I'd never heard of the Halifax explosion so I enjoyed learning about this horrific event and following Lucy and Harry's story

I enjoyed reading this book. The book centers around Lucy. She survives the Halifax Explosion with her husband. She loses her daughter but give birth to a son. Now her husband has suffered a stroke and she is his primary caregiver. The book jumps back and forth in time. This is a quiet story of how people deal with tragedies in their lives. There are a few twists. The author does a very good job with the Halifax background. The writing is good and the characters are well developed. Enjoy
