The Edge of Winter by Luanne Rice

Neve Halloran and her teenage daughter, Mickey, live quietly in the coastal town of South County, Rhode Island, where the sea is both a refuge and a reminder of loss. Their lives change when a storm uncovers the wreck of a World War II German submarine—and with it, the buried secrets of a long-ago tragedy. As mother and daughter become entwined with a reclusive wildlife artist and a retired Air Force colonel, they are drawn into a story of courage, love, and forgiveness that spans generations. Against the haunting beauty of the New England shore, The Edge of Winter explores the fragile ties between past and present, and the redemptive power of the human heart.
