Safe Harbour

Finding Light Beyond the Storm

In Safe Harbour, Danielle Steel crafts an unforgettable journey of heartbreak and healing set along the windswept California coast. Against the backdrop of rolling tides and salt-kissed air, we meet Ophelie MacKenzie, a woman adrift in sorrow after an unimaginable loss. Her world is small, her hope dim, until a chance encounter on the beach with a gentle, reclusive artist named Matt brings an unexpected flicker of warmth. Through tentative friendship, both find themselves navigating the shifting sands of trust, forging a bond that becomes a fragile beacon through their darkest days.

The healing that unfolds is gentle and true, filled with moments of quiet grace, laughter hard-won, and the patient rediscovery of joy.
