Painter Place

Caroline Painter lives on an island, at a house called Painter Place. In the summer of 1985 her uncle takes her from that quiet life to Mevagissey, a harbor village, where he plans for her to appear in an art video. He hopes the change will help her sort out her feelings and her thoughts. Instead, the journey pulls her into adventure and intrigue out on the English Channel, and the attention she hoped to avoid turns her into a public figure.

The season's greatest test comes after she goes home. There she uncovers a secret that shakes her faith and leaves her doubting almost everything in her life. With her world unsteady, she has to decide whether the one person who claims to understand her can be trusted.

This is the first book in the Painter Place Saga.
