About this ebook

Maya and Rebecca Ward are both accomplished physicians, but that's where the sisters' similarities end. As teenagers, they witnessed their parents' murder, an event that left Maya cautious and timid, while Rebecca became the risk taker.

After a devastating hurricane hits the coast of North Carolina, Rebecca and Maya's husband Adam urge her to join them in the relief effort. But when Maya's helicopter crashes into raging floodwaters, there appear to be no survivors.

Forced to accept Maya is gone, Rebecca and Adam turn to one another, unaware that, miles from civilisation, Maya is injured and trapped with strangers she's not certain she can trust. Now, away from the sister she's always relied upon, Maya must find the courage to save herself– unaware that the life she knew has changed forever.

Ratings and reviews

This book, once again yet another, had me turning page after page in anticipation. A good light read. The only issue I had was how the story was so good but the ending came together so quickly. But still a brilliant read.

I enjoyed this book very much that I couldn't put it down. The storyline is great. I recommend you won't be disappointed. Stories by Diane are an amazing read. Keep them coming please Diane.

About the author

Diane Chamberlain is the best-selling author of 20 novels. Her books, frequently set in the southeastern United States, are complex stories about love, compassion and forgiveness with a touch of mystery and suspense. Diane was born and raised in Plainfield, New Jersey, and attended Glassboro State University. She also lived for many years in both San Diego and northern Virginia. Diane received her master's degree in clinical social work from San Diego State University. Prior to her writing career, she was a hospital social worker and a psychotherapist in private practice, working primarily with adolescents. Diane's background in psychology and her work in hospitals have given her a keen interest in understanding the way people tick, as well as the background necessary to create real, living, breathing characters. More than a decade ago, Diane was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, which changed the way she works: She sometimes types using voice recognition software. She feels fortunate that her arthritis is not more severe and that she is able to enjoy everyday activities as well as keep up with a busy work and travel schedule. Diane has three married stepdaughters, three grandchildren, and two shelties. She lives with photographer John Pagliuca in North Carolina where she's at work on her 21st novel.
