revelations will upend the family and rock three generations of women.
Early Praise for Chance Harbor:
“Oh the sneaky wonder of Chance Harbor by Holly Robinson. This
book has the heart, intrigue, and secrets of Shakespeare but is written
with the sensual prose or our time. If you are looking for a book that
surprises all the way through, this is the book for you.”—Ann W. Garvin,
author of The Dog Year
“Chance Harbor is a
genuine, moving portrayal of the intricacies of relationships between
sisters, mothers and daughters. Robinson’s skillful storytelling, smooth
pacing and vivid characters combine to show us that no matter our
secrets, misgivings and mistakes, compassion is the most precious human
virtue. A truly authentic, engrossing story.”—Sonja Yoerg, author of House Broken and Middle of Somewhere
“Both heartbreaking and hopeful, Chance Harbor
explores the depth of loyalty, commitment, and family bonds. . .
.Beautifully written and full of real-life struggle, this is a
first-class novel.”—RT Book Reviews
“Robinson specializes
in emotionally potent ensemble fiction, featuring realistic characters
in dramatic situations. The plot is intricate, with numerous narrators
presenting their points of view, and the characters are sympathetic and
realistically flawed. . .Robinson’s writing keeps getting better, and
this exploration of family bonds and love in its many forms will appeal
to mainstream-women’s-fiction fans.”—Booklist
