Heron Cove

by Ruth Wallace-Brodeur

Sage lives with her flighty mother, who is always dropping one dream to chase another. When her mother packs her off to her great-aunts' house in Maine for the summer, Sage worries she's being dropped, too. But she finds warmth, friendship, and a real sense of belonging at Heron Cove. She uncovers a painful family history, but also the strength to help her relatives heal. She also realizes you do not have to give up one home to claim another. This is a tender, compassionate look at one girl's pivotal summer—and at the powerful love that binds families everywhere.

4 STARS This is the second book of the Sharpe and Donovan Novel that I have read. I have enjoyed both and would read more in the future. Emma Sharpe has a interesting past. Her family has been in the art theft recovery for generations. So she is very knowledgeable in art. She was close to being a nun never took her final vows. After she decided to be a nun Emma went to Irland to work for her grandfather as Sharpe art recovery. Next she joined the FBI Agemt. She is now in a small special group of FBI out of Boston. Colin Donovan is a FBI Agent all he tells his family is he is a pencil pusher out of Washington DC. But he is working deep undercover assignments. He has lots of brothers some in law inforce and others lobsterman. Colin and Emma grew up in little towns close to each other but did not know each other or that they both work for FBI until Emma found a nun murdered that had called her about something and needed to see her. Colin's deep cover was blown and he was beat up and tied up and got away. Before he got far the calvary came.

It kept my interest in the book and would like to see more Sharpe and Donovan novels in the future.
