Publisher Description
A rookie paramedic pulls a young woman alive from her totaled car, a first rescue that begins a lifelong tangle of love and wreckage.
Peter Webster pulls a young woman out of a car wreck that should have killed her. Sheila Arsenault haunts his thoughts, and despite his misgivings Peter is soon embroiled in an intense love affair — and in Sheila’s troubled world.
Eighteen years later, Sheila is long gone and Peter is raising their daughter, Rowan, alone. But Rowan is veering dangerously off course, and for the first time in their quiet life together Peter fears for her future. He seeks out the only person who may be able to help Rowan, although Sheila’s return is sure to unleash all the questions he has carefully been keeping at bay: Why did a mother leave her family? How did the marriage of two people so deeply in love unravel?
A story about trespass and forgiveness, secrets and the seismic force of the truth, Rescue is a masterful portrayal of a family trying to understand its fractured past and begin again.

“I really liked this book, I don’t really know why. It was something different, a different kind of story. It was an enjoyable book to read because you always wanted to know what was going to happen next. I read it in one day and I, obviously, think it’s a pretty quick read. It’s about a man and he’s raising his 17 year old daughter alone due to his wife having to leave when their daughter was younger. The book starts off with the girl being 17 and then goes back 18 years and you see the father & mother’s life leading up to when the daughter is 17. I thought it was really cute, happy, and sad. I really liked it, i’m kind of sad it’s over :(”
