What Is Sanctuary About?

The premise of Sanctuary without spoilers.

Passion or obsession? Jo Hathaway thought she knew the difference—she was dead wrong. The celebrated photographer Jo Ellen Hathaway has been stalked for some time. Seeking escape and a chance to unwind, she returns to the island of her childhood. There she reunites with old friends, former boyfriends, and works to rebuild family ties, yet an unsettling sense that she remains under watch never leaves her.
