by Kate Hancock (published by Sunstone Press) When the gleaming World Trade Center towers come tumbling down on September 11, so do the seemingly perfect lives of eleven year-old twins, Samantha and Andrew Bennett, and their mother, Rachel. Can they build a new life without their father, Ben? Can they honor his last wish? After many difficult decisions, the answer seems to be "yes", but when a stranger appears on the scene, reviving sorrows and revealing hidden emotions, their fragile new life is threatened. Set on the beautiful island of Martha's Vineyard, Windswept is a story of loss and healing. It is a story about the strength of family. Above all it is a story about the power of love, friendship and knowledge to effect change. And then, of course there's that pirate business!
