Waiting on Wednesday (2)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

What I'm really waiting on right now is These Girls by Sarah Pekkanen, but there is still very little info on it... and it's not coming out until April 10, 2010! So I will hold that one for a later WOW....

Title: Kiss River

Author: Diane Chamberlain

Release Date: November 22, 2011


Technically, this is being re-published. However, I've never read it, and from what I can see, the new cover is much prettier and looks more along the lines of the other Diane Chamberlain book covers I've seen.

From Goodreads:

Gina Higgins has come to the Outer Banks of North Carolina--a stranger with a secret. But secrets are a fact of life in the close-knit community of Kiss River...

Kiss River's historic nineteenth-century lighthouse has all but fallen into the sea, taking with it the huge Fresnel lens that once served as its beacon. Gina is desperate to find a way to raise the lens from the sea: the glass holds the key to her future, her fortune and her only chance to save the one person who matters to her.

Lacey O'Neill lives in the old lightkeeper's house, a home she shares with her brother, Clay. When Lacey meets Gina, she invites her to stay with them. Eagerly accepting the offer, Gina begins her quest to raise the lens as Clay finds himself drawn to her struggle, and to Gina herself.

As Gina's story unfolds, so does the shocking legacy left buried in the light, revealing more than Gina expected...much more. And with it comes new hope for the future...and for love.

I've read a couple of Diane Chamberlain's books. The Secret Life of Cece Wilkes and The Lies We Told were both very good books - easy reads with lots of drama that kept the pages turning. Much of the drama in both books dealt with mothers and babies. This one doesn't appear to follow along the same lines, but we'll see! I'm looking forward to reading it. I'm also looking forward to, once I have the book in my hands, using it to tease my daughter. Her name is River :)


What are you waiting on?
