After the stillbirth of her first child, and deployment of her husband in WWII, Vangie retreats to her late grandmother's farm to forget. Joe Green drifts into town and starts working around town, never really answering questions as to why he's not in the service. But the town takes him at face value, but when Vangie's POW husband is found alive, he suddenly vanishes. Now 50 years later a downed plane is found...could it connected the to elusive Joe Green? ( ) Didn't find it engaging at all. Couldn't feel the main character, and the blurb on back plus the part I did get through (42 pp) makes me feel like I probably have everything figured out.

After the loss of her first child, Evangeline Worth returns to her beloved grandmothers farm in Hawke's Cove. Once the enchanting place of her youth, this small coastal town is now a sanctuary for her solitude. With her husband, John, across the Atlantic on the war front, Vangie does the best she can to put her life, and heart, back together. All of that changes one day when a man appears on her doorstep searching for work.Joe Green looks able enough, and though she wanders why he isn't in the service, Vangie takes him in on instinct. As a rich friendship develops between them, the Army informs Vangie that John is MIA. At the same time, rumors in town circulate about a downed Hellcat plane and its missing pilot. Smoothing away each other's loneliness, Vangie and Joe fed their relationship deepening into a forbidden passion. Then John is suddenly found alive, and the lovers separate -- but cannot bear to sever their bond.In 1993, Vangie's son Charlie lands a plum reporting assignment: to unlock the puzzle of the recently dredged-up Hellcat in Hawke's Cove.

As a romantic relationship blossoms between Charlie and Maggie, Vangie and Joe realize that they must open up the past -- and the secrets they'd buried along with it.A mesmerizing tale of joy and sorrow, misbegotten dreams and desires, Hawke's Cove is peopled with characters who are at once mysterious and unabashedly revealing. With a rare capacity for love and forgiveness, they draw us into their lives through their most private journals, letters, and inner thoughts.
