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!!
Instead he reconciles with his daughter (with some urging to do so from Maggie) and he leaves his friends behind and sails off "to atone for all that he couldn't change now".

Quinn was a great character though I felt he was ...

Manufacturer's product description
On a wind-swept summer day as the fog rolls across the San Francisco coastline a solitary figure walks down the beach a dog at her side. At eleven Pip Mackenzie's young life has already been touched by tragedy; nine months before a terrible accident plunged her mother Ophelie into inconsolable grief. But on this chilly July afternoon Pip meets artist Matt Bowles who offers to teach the girl to draw - and can't help but notice her beautiful lonely mother. Matt Bowles senses something magical about Pip who reminds him of his own daughter at that age before a bitter divorce tore his family apart and swept his children halfway across the world. At first Ophelie is thrown off-balance by her daughter's new companion - until she realizes how much joy he is bringing into their lives so that mother and daughter can slowly begin to heal to laugh again to rediscover what they have lost. Then fate strikes another blow and Matt must confront unfinished business from his past. Days later Ophelie is struck by a stunning betrayal by someone she trusts. And as these events reverberate in two already wounded hearts something extraordinary happens that offers hope.Out of the darkness that has shadowed them both comes an unexpected gift of hope. A story of triumph and a moving elegy to those who suffer and survive Safe Harbour is Danielle Steel's most powerful and life-affirming novel to date.
