by Anita Shreve (Author)
Written with deep emotional resonance, Anita Shreve unfolds a tender and surprising novel about love and its consequences, after a widower and his daughter make a discovery that changes their lives forever.
What makes a family? That's what twelve-year-old Nicky Dillon wonders after she and her widowed father discover a wailing abandoned baby in the snow-filled woods near their New Hampshire home. Through the days that follow, the Dillons and an unexpected visitor who soon turns up at their door--a young woman evidently haunted by her own terrible choices--face a thicket of decisions, each seeming to carry equal possibilities of heartbreak and redemption.Author Biography
