You, Me, and the Sea: A Novel
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
From the USA Today bestselling author of All the Summer Girls and Dog Crazy comes a spellbinding and suspenseful tale inspired by Wuthering Heights that illuminates the ways in which hope—and even magic—can blossom in the darkest of places.
To find her way, she must abandon everything she loves...
As a child, Merrow Shawe believes she is born of the sea: strong, joyous, and wild. Her beloved home is Horseshoe Cliff, a small farm on the coast of Northern California where she spends her days exploring fog-cloaked bluffs, swimming in the cove, and basking in the light of golden sunsets as her father entertains her with fantastical stories. It is an enchanting childhood, but it is not without hardship—the mystery of Merrow's mother's death haunts her, as does the increasingly senseless cruelty of her older brother, Bear.
Then, like sea glass carried from a distant land, Amir arrives in Merrow's life. He's been tossed about from India to New York City and now to Horseshoe Cliff, to stay with her family. Merrow is immediately drawn to his spirit, his passion, and his resilience in the face of Bear's viciousness. Together they embrace their love of the sea, and their growing love for each other.
But the ocean holds secrets in its darkest depths. When tragedy strikes, Merrow is forced to question whether Amir is really the person she believed him to be. In order to escape the danger she finds herself in and find her own path forward, she must let go of the only home she's ever known, and the only boy she's ever loved....

- content:
"You, Me, and the Sea is an enchanting and imaginative story about soulmates, family, and forgiveness. With its sparkling allure of Northern California's rugged coast and aura of mystery and romance, I was swept away by this evocative modern take on Wuthering Heights." — Elise Hooper, author of Learning to See and The Other Alcott, on You, Me, and the Sea
"You, Me, and the Sea is a modern nod to Wuthering Heights that is gripping, romantic, intense, and utterly satisfying. It's just my kind of book—intelligent and emotional, gracefully written, confident, and fully imagined. Read it even if you're not Bronte-obsessed like me!" — Amy Mason Doan, author of Summer Hours
"Nail-biting secrets, heart-pounding passion, and lush prose hurl this novel to its sweeping conclusion. For readers, like me, who wondered what if for Heathcliff and Catherine, this is a genuine treat." — Sarah McCoy, New York Times, USA Today, and international bestselling author of Marilla of Green Gables
"A heartfelt, funny, poignant and suspenseful story of a good woman trying her best, making mistakes, picking up the pieces and moving on — a celebration of what it means to be a working mother." — Susan Wiggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Family Tree, on Every Wild Heart
"An honest and engaging look at the complicated and powerful bonds of female friendship. Donohue takes us on a weekend reunion full of secrets, resentment, and regret-in other words, once you start this book, you won't be able to put it down!" — Jennifer Close, bestselling author of Girls in White Dresses on Every Wild Heart
"Every Wild Heart is Meg Donohue's finest novel to date — emotionally resonant, absorbing and funny in all the right places, it's a portrait of mothers and daughters, missteps and triumphs, and love in all of its bewildering and delightful disguises." — Meg Mitchell Moore, author of The Admissions, on Every Wild Heart
"Engaging." — Entertainment Weekly, "The Best Summer Reads 2014", on All the Summer Girls
"Deliciously engaging. Donohue writes with charm and grace. What could be better than friendship and cupcakes?" — Rebecca Rasmussen, author of The Bird Sisters, on How To Eat A Cupcake
"A fast-paced novel about the enduring friendship of three young women who spent their summers in Avalon on the Jersey shore before dispersing across the country....A good beach read." — Kirkus Reviews on All the Summer Girls
"Beach Book Extraordinaire! Donohue's three protagonists are irresistibly sympathetic as they try to unbury their true selves from the ruinous secrets of their shared past." — Elin Hilderbrand on All the Summer Girls
"Beautifully written and quietly wise, Meg Donohue's How to Eat a Cupcake is an achingly honest portrayal of the many layers of friendship—a story so vividly told, you can (almost) taste the buttercream." — Sarah Jio, author of The Violets of March and The Bungalow, on How to Eat a Cupcake
"Donohue captures the beauty and frustration of reconnecting with old friends—they know you so well, and they don't know you at all. Perfect for a staycation for readers who like the beachy drama of Elin Hilderbrand and Susan Wiggs." — Booklist on All the Summer Girls
"Donohue gives the chick-lit buddy trope an appealing twist and a lot of depth, turning a familiar yarn of regret, trust, and loyalty into an elegant...

Donohue (How to Eat a Cupcake) spins first-rate women’s fiction in this imaginative and lyrically told tale about how the most unlikely of people become family. The story begins with a lavish engagement party and immediately swings back a few decades to the childhood of the intended bride. Merrow Shawe is growing up poor in Northern California with her widowed father and cruel brother when her father brings home an orphan named Amir, the adopted son of his late wife’s close friend. When Merrow is 10, her father also dies, leaving Merrow and Amir at the mercy of Merrow’s older brother, Bear. Their only consolation comes from Rei, a Japanese former professor hired to tutor them, who fills their heads with magical tales of lands far away, and from their habit of popping into unoccupied homes to dream about how others live. One of those visits changes Merrow’s life forever: a dog bites her; she meets a woman, Rosalie Langford, who becomes her protector; and Merrow falls in love with Rosalie’s son. After tragedy separates Amir and Merrow, seemingly forever, Merrow continues down a new path that ends with a betrayal and a surprise. Donohue’s careful plotting and richly drawn characters will keep readers enthralled right up to an unexpected ending that’s likely to be polarizing. Merrow’s life story is worth reading even for those who’d prefer it took her another way. Agent: Elisabeth Weed, Book Group.

Though her childhood was unusual, Merrow couldn't have picked a more idyllic place to grow up. Set on the Northern coast of California, Horseshoe Cliff wasn't a safe, suburban enclave, but it was undeniably appealing?it was home. She learned to swim, ride, and forage, exploring the bluffs while avoiding her older brother's temper and her father's sad eyes. When Amir, the orphaned son of a family friend, arrives, Merrow is overjoyed to share the wonders of Horseshoe Cliff with him. But the unthinkable happens, and Merrow's family is shaken to its core. Merrow reexamines her sense of self and realizes that nothing in life is sacred; there are no guarantees. Bestselling author Donohue (Every Wild Heart, 2017) opens the novel with a fairy-tale ending and a twist, moving backwards through time to give readers a full picture of Merrow's childhood. A companion to Erica Bauermeister's The Scent Keeper (2019) and Catherine Ryan Hyde's Have You Seen Luis Velez? (2019), this coming-of-age novel will warm hearts and inspire anyone with a less-than-perfect childhood.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
