BLUE WATER, is a book you will never forget: a story of people facing the unthinkable, and learning to move on. Aboard their sailboat, Chelone, Megan and Rex Van Dorn look to all the world like a couple living their dream. But when people ask, ‘Do you have children?’, Meg doesn’t know how to answer. For Meg and Rex took to the water following the death of their only child, Evan, in a road accident – killed by Cindy Ann Kreisler, who, back when they were teenagers, had been Meg’s best friend.
The couple’s only plan, as they set sail, is to put as much distance between themselves and Cindy Ann as possible. But when Meg has to return to shore for her brother’s wedding, she is forced to face the complex ties that bind her to the woman who has wounded her so badly. For as Meg knows better than anyone, Cindy Ann has secrets and sorrows of her own – which date back to the summer of their brief friendship.
