What makes a family? Twelve-year-old Nicky Dillon and her widowed father Robert discover an abandoned newborn baby in the snow-filled woods near their rural New Hampshire home. Still recovering from the devastating loss of Nicky's mother and infant sister in a car accident two years earlier, they rush the baby to hospital. When the infant's young mother Charlotte appears at their door¬タヤhaunted by her terrible choices¬タヤthe Dillons face agonizing decisions carrying equal possibilities of heartbreak and redemption. Narrated eighteen years later by adult Nicky in present tense, this tender novel explores grief, healing, and what truly defines family.
゚メᆲ Reviews
Shreve does a skilled job of portraying grief, conflict and anger while leaving room for hope, redemption and renewal. Her characters are sympathetic without being pitiable, and her prose remains deceptively simple and eloquent. ¬タモ Publishers Weekly
A delicately written story about grief and how we deal with it... reminds me somewhat of 'To Kill a Mockingbird' & is also a kind of 'coming of age' story. ¬タモ Amazon UK Reader
