In What Child Is This?, "Boatwright conjures up the warmth of the snowy, candlelit holiday." - Publishers Weekly>Ellie Kent imagined that spending Christmas in the Cotswolds would be like living in an Advent calendar. But the pleasures of mummers and mince pies, caroling and candlelight are interrupted when a distraught couple asks for her help. Their 20-year-old daughter has been missing for more than two months, and the police search has gone cold. Ellie remembers being a runaway herself and knows she can't refuse. As she learns more about the missing Oxford student, she finds a trail that seems to connect an abandoned baby, a drama club, and a group of girls who identify with Shakespeare's tragic Ophelia. Does that mean there is a Hamlet involved . . . and is he a killer?

In this trilogy of stories about life in the San Juan Islands, a teacher fantasizes about her favorite author to ease her loneliness, an islander finds love with a precariously sober alcoholic, and a young couple has to make sacrifices to keep their dreams afloat - but all find strength and inspiration in the sea, sky, and islands.
