Luanne Rice’s twenty-three standalone novels span from 1985 to 2024, covering nearly four decades of writing. Her early works like Angels All Over Town (1985), Crazy in Love (1988), and Stone Heart (1990) established her voice in women’s fiction. The 1990s and 2000s brought some of her most popular books: Cloud Nine, Follow the Stars Home, Summer Light, and Dream Country all deal with love, family, and the landscapes of New England.
Her later standalones show a broadening range. The Lemon Orchard (2013) moved the setting to California, while The Secret Language of Sisters (2016) and The Beautiful Lost (2017) explored younger characters. Pretend She’s Here (2019) introduced a suspense element aimed at younger readers, and If Anything Happens To Me (2024) continued the trend toward darker material. Across the full catalog, the constants are Rice’s interest in family bonds and her ability to make settings feel like characters.
