Publisher's Summary:
Deprival haunted her.... Regret troubled her.... Silence left her detached.... A life in the service of others is both penance and a blessing. She soothes her personal hell by pulling victims from theirs, helping them on their path to survival; never finding her own.
When a crippling blow finally evaporates her last hope, the temptation to give up is strong. Still, she can't find it in her to turn her back on those who need her: the innocent, whose rescue is her perpetual goal. He was blind, but now he sees how his family has sifted through his fingers. The reality hits hard when his son becomes a stranger, slipping deeper into transgression. Concern has him call on the one person he fears will see his own failures all too clearly. A woman he's kept his distance from for his own protection.
What appeared to be an incompatible pairing turns out to be the unyielding bond needed to heal them all.

Ms. Barker Weaves Another Fantastic Word Tapestry
Freya Barker has done it again. She has woven a rich tapestry of words that draws the reader into the world she has created in her Portland, ME series. She wraps up the reader in a cocoon of well-written, tightly plotted words and emotions. Still Air is the last book in this series and she appears to have saved the enigmas for last. Both Pam and Dino have been supporting and supportive characters in the first three books, but their story is both heart wrenching and surprising.
Pam has always held her cards close to her vest. She has always been there for the women of Portland, supporting and protecting them, when she herself was never given those things. Her backstory is rich in heritage and heartache. The loss she has suffered is life altering and touches the reader to their very soul. She is a strong woman but while she's been caring for everyone else, she's not let anyone take care of her.
Dino, on the other hand, has had his hands full with his wife, her addiction, and her ultimate desertion, while trying to keep his children's lives on an even keel. After his wife leaves, Dino finds out all of the damage that she and her addiction has done, mostly to their son, Jonas. Dino struggles with being a single parent and is blindsided by the actions of his son. Keeping his eye on Jonas, allows his young daughter to begin to slip away also.
Pam and Dino have had an apparent love/hate relationship in the previous books. When Pam finds Jonas in the midst of a gang related crime, she realizes she must tell the boy's father. Ultimately, the couple realizes that their previous animosity toward each other was simply a case of chemistry that they both denied. Their journey together is full of loss, pain, passion, and love. Lucky for them they have an amazing group of friends that are truly more like family to support them.
While Pam struggles with a tremendous loss, Dino seeks to find a balance between his children and the woman who holds his heart. These characters may be the most passionate couple in the Portland, ME series. They may be older and wiser, but the fire they spark in each other all consuming. They are loving, sensual, and sizzling. Ms. Barker writes her characters from the heart. Her books are character driven and full emotion and love. While I'm sad that this is the last book in this series, I'm sure there are more great stories to come from Ms.
