A Reader Needs Your Help

Atten­tion all read­ers in the blog­ging com­mu­nity, fel­low reader, Cary, needs some help with a title and/or author. Can any­one help her out?

I am look­ing for the title and/or the author of a book I read sev­eral years ago. I am hop­ing you or your fel­low blog­gers can help. The story is about a busy city fam­ily of four that goes to a lake or beach house. It is the Dad’s birth­day I
think and they go out for a sail to cel­e­brate. A storm rolls in and they “lose” their teenage daugh­ter. Pre­sumed drowned, she has actu­ally run away and is liv­ing with an artist in the local area. She is a wanna be artist and her fam­ily doesnt approve. They close up the house and dont return for quite some time. When they do return it is because their son is going to die and asks to go
there. After they arrive they begin to find clues that she is still around — a cer­tain flower is left on the porch, an unfin­ished bench she and her Dad were build­ing is fin­ished. I don’t remem­ber what the cover looked like. I feel like the title had either the word Flower or the spe­cific flower (like iris or lily) in it. I feel like the title may have had the girls name in it too. Some­thing like “Flow­ers from Emily” .…Does this story ring any bells?

Any ideas? Thanks in advance. As an aside, this sounds like an inter­est­ing book.
