A change of pace for Baldacci: tear-jerking inspiration. Lizzie is tending her terminally ill husband, Jack, when she is killed in a car accident and the children must be farmed out to relatives. Miraculously, Jack goes into remission and gathers his family together at Lizzie's oceanfront childhood home in South Carolina for a life-affirming summer. Thriller fans should know that Baldacci is publishing two books in that genre next year; let's see how he does on this new track.
