safe harbour by danielle steel

Safe Harbour is a book that i dont particularly like because it is very mature and is more about life problems, ect. It is about a lady called Dana Underhill, she is an artist and known for painting sea views, she is from a small town on the beach in the US but lives on a lake in paris, the rest of her family live in the small, quiet beach town where they grew up, the womans sister, Lily, died with her husband, Mike, on a sail boat (the family loved sailing) and left her two children, Quinn, the wild one, was 12 and Allie, the sweet innocent one, was 10, Dana knew nothing about children and was usually known as the fun aunt who brought them candy and art supplies from france. Dana had just broken up with her boyfriend, Jonathan, in Paris, his excuse was that she was too depressed about her older sisters death (of course, this only made her more depressed), but she then found Jonathan and her vietnamese model (yes, I said vietnamese) together after in bed (further depression). Dana needs help but all the help she's getting is from her mother who sits there and complains for hours on end about how Dana should come to her senses and move back with them... Until one night at one of Dana's art shows, she meets sam, well its not really the first time, when Dana was 18 and Lily was 20 they decided to raise money doing the one thing they loved the most, sailing. Sam was one of their students, only he did it for free because he and his family had no money at the time. Sam was now grown up, about 28 and still remembered Dana after the time she saved his life when he fell overboard.

The rest of this book is a blur because the emotions are every where, this book would of been more intriguing if it was shorter because the emotions are too much to handle.

i recommend this book to people who like more emotional or heart wrenching books mixed with a bit of adventure. this book is hard to read because every second Dana or Quinn (who has a lot of problems) are showing new emotions.

this book is written in 3rd person.
