Luanne Rice

New Jersey

Bestseller Luanne Rice returns with a novel as timeless as the sea on which it's set.

From the beloved New York Times bestselling Luanne Rice comes a heartwarming yet heart-wrenching portrait of three far-flung sisters who come home to Martha's Vineyard one last time. Their mother's beach house is the only place any of them ever found true happiness and they need to begin the difficult process of letting go. Memories of their grandmother, mother, and their Irish father, who sailed away the year Dar turned twelve, rise up and expose the fine cracks in their family myth-especially when a cache of old letters reveals enough truth to send them back to their ancestral homeland.

Transplanted into the unfamiliar, each sister sees life, her heart, and her relationship to home in a new way. But how do they let go of a place that contains the complicated love of their imperfect family? Without the house, where will they be together?

The novel is a season on Martha's Vineyard; a mission to Ireland; a cast of friends, including one wildly off-the-grid Zen genius; passionate love in the surf; and three very different sisters with lives filled with beauty, sorrow, and deep love they'd never been quite sure they could trust. The Silver Boat is Luanne Rice at her very best, complete with her singular talent for capturing a family in all its flawed complexity.

"There once was a boy who lived close to the sea

And daydreamed all day about what he might be.

His island was lush and his life wasn't bad,

But he wasn't content with the things that he had."



Despite his idyllic island life, young Bob yearns for a greater sense of purpose. He recognizes that his life doesn't have direction, so he decides to set out on an adventure and seek out advice from the sea creatures.



Bob encounters a carefree dolphin Al, who teaches Bob to appreciate every minute he has available and directs him to the wise turtle Doc, who can help him find his purpose in life. Doc encourages Bob to find his passion, the things that excite him, and jump into those things.



What is my purpose? What will make me content?



In sparkling, rhyming text, Bob discovers his passion is to protect all life in the sea, and sets off on an adventure to pursue that passion.



Every child will love the gorgeous illustrations and inspiring story of Blue Ocean Bob, whose magical sea journeys with dolphins, turtles, and a special hummingbird will teach them to have a "can do attitude" and learn to look at every problem from a new direction until the solution is revealed.



This children's picture book engages just one of the concepts - purpose - expounded on in the full Blue Ocean Bob chapter book series.



Readers of Blue Ocean Bob Discovers His Purpose "loved the rhyming couplets" and "think a few of us adults could stand to learn the lessons held within, too." They praise the "delightful stories and the simple but profound principles they reveal" that "empower children to cultivate proactive attitudes, to value themselves and confidently tap into their inherent gifts for making their dreams come true."

"Theroux's work is like no one else's." -Francine Prose, New York Times Book Review



From legendary writer Paul Theroux comes an atmospheric novel following a big-wave surfer as he confronts aging, privilege, mortality, and whose lives we choose to remember.



Now in his sixties, big-wave surfer Joe Sharkey has passed his prime and is losing his "stoke." The younger surfers around the breaks on the north shore of Oahu still idolize the Shark, but his sponsors are looking elsewhere. One night, while driving home from a bar after one too many, Joe accidentally kills a stranger near Waimea, a tragedy that sends his life out of control. As the repercussions of the accident spiral ever wider, Joe's devoted girlfriend, Olive, throws herself into uncovering the dead man's identity and helping Joe find vitality and refuge in the waves again.



Set in the lush, gritty underside of an island paradise readers rarely see, UNDER THE WAVE AT WAIMEA offers a dramatic, affecting commentary on privilege, mortality, and the lives we choose to remember. It is a masterstroke by one of the greatest writers of our time.
