Rescue by Anita Shreve - Book 144

I generally like Anita Shreve's books, and while Rescue was no exception, I wasn't transported to another world in quite the same way as usual. I could almost feel the grinding of the writing process. Paramedic Peter Webster rescues and later marries Sheila, a troubled woman with a drinking problem. When she nearly kills their daughter Rowan, the marriage ends and Peter raises his daughter alone. As she is about to go to college, their relationship seems to be deteriorating, so Peter tracks down Sheila to help sort things out. I liked the main character, disliked Sheila and could almost see the ending coming. I'd rate it as readable, but average.
