about his intention to sell his house and sail off around the world though this doesn't stop Quinn and Maggie falling in love with each other.
DanielleSteel guides us through the highs / lows / joys / losses and achievements of thee three characters until I was hoping that Quinn would change his mind about leaving............... he doesn't!!
