On the eve of a wedding by the edge of the sea, a once-in-a-lifetime storm sweeps through a family Christmas tree farm on the Connecticut Shoreline and sets in motion the events of The Night Before. New York Times bestselling author Luanne Rice tells the powerful story of the young couple about to get married, a mother and daughter three thousand miles apart, and best friends who could never forget each other.
Lydia Madison, an artist with a carefully guarded secret, opens her home and her heart to Danny Byrne (last seen in Silver Bells) and Sara Castillo. When the storm hits memories are cracked open, Lydia's inspiration as an artist is revealed, and love and heartbreak intertwine.
This brand new short story returns to the setting of Rice's beloved Black Hall and Hubbard's Point series of novels, and poignantly reveals that when there is love this deep there's no such thing as time or distance. A rare treat from an acclaimed and treasured author.
