At eleven, Pip Mackenzie's life has already been touched by tragedy: a terrible accident that plunged her mother, Ophelie, into inconsolable grief. But on a foggy summer day, on a beach near San francisco, Pip meets someone who fills her grey world with colour and light. From the moment Pip walks up to his easel on the beach, artist Matt Bowles senses something magical - she reminds him of his own daughter before a bitter divorce tore his family apart. When Matt offers to teach Pip how to draw, Ophelie is, at first, hostile and wary of this newfound friendship. But Matt's steady kindness makes her realize how much joy he has brought into their lives, helping them to laugh again and to rediscover what they have lost.

At once a story of triumph and a moving elegy to those who suffer and survive, 'SAFE HARBOUR' is perhaps her most powerful and life-affirming novel to date.
