Peter Webster is a rookie paramedic sent out on an emergency call that will change his life: he pulls a young woman out of a car wreck that should have killed her. Despite his misgivings about getting involved with a patient, Sheila haunts his thoughts. Soon he is embroiled in her troubled life and a tempestuous love affair begins. Nineteen years later, Sheila is long gone and Webster is raising their daughter, Rowan, alone - until a phone call from Sheila alters their quiet existence once more. As Sheila reenters their lives, long-buried questions emerge. Why did a mother leave her family? How did the marriage of two people so deeply in love unravel? A story about trespass and forgiveness, secrets and the seismic force of the truth, RESCUE is a masterful portrayal of a family trying to understand its own fractured past and begin again.
