Rescue by Anita Shreve
Shreve tells a story that is emotionally charged and poignant.
Peter is a paramedic. Sheila is an alcoholic, whose life is spiraling out of control. They meet when Sheila has an accident that should have killed her. Peter is intrigued by her and pursues her. Their relationship is tumultuous and Peter has to cut Sheila out of his life when she endangers the life of their daughter. Eighteen years later, Rowan, their daughter is struggling to find her way in the world.
A beautiful story about love and life. I can only imagine, with two little ones, the helpless feeling of watching them make mistakes and grow into their adulthood.
