She'd spent her loneliest years there, after the sudden, unexplained disappearance of her mother. Yet the sprawling inn on an island off the Georgia coast continues to haunt her dreams. And now, even more haunting are the pictures someone is sending her: strange close-ups and candids, culminating in the most shocking portrait of all—a photo of her mother—naked, beautiful, and dead.Now Jo must return to the island, and to her bitterly estranged family. With the help of Nathan Delaney—who was on the island the summer her mother disappeared—Jo hopes to learn the truth about the tragic past. But Sanctuary may be the most dangerous place of all.

"While this was not particularly extraordinary, it was a surprisingly “happy” ending as far as Wharton is concerned. <br/><br/>I’d love to see this book studied through the lens of the responsibility women take on in regards to “taking care of” and essentially “mothering” not only children but their partners. <br/><br/>Kate stays with a man she has lost all respect for because she fears for the morality of his future children—even if they aren’t hers. This leads her to marry him and have a child with him <i>just so </i> she can ensure a child of his will not inherit the unethical sensibilities of its father. She dedicates her entire life to the vigilant mothering of her son to prevent the boy from turning out like his father—to “save” him. Why does she feel this obligation? Why is it her job? <br/><br/>Maybe I’ll do some research and see if the book has been discussed in this light."
