Successful photographer Jo Ellen Hathaway thought she'd escaped the house called Sanctuary long ago. She'd spent her loneliest years there after the sudden, shattering disappearance of her mother. But now someone is sending Jo strange, candid pictures, culminating in the most shocking portrait of all - a photo of her mother, naked, beautiful and dead. Jo returns home to face her bitterly estranged family, only to find an unexpected chance for happiness in the form of architect Nathan Delaney. But while Jo and Nathan hope to lay the past to rest, a sinister presence is watching from the shadows. And Jo will soon learn there is no peace at Sanctuary . . .
while i hv just read two others of Nora Roberts which were good, this was not upto the expectations. not bad for a desperate time pass, i say. u wanna try Nora, go for the reef or midnight bayou, i suggest, from my limited experience with her books. and well concentrating on the sanctuary, here there isn't much of a story to start with, not strong characters, and at the end, just everybody ends up with the same person as their partner whom they had been avoiding since the beginning.
