''Touches the very deepest human emotions... Perceptive, gripping and ultimately exhilarating, this is a very fine book indeed'
- INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY

Walking through new-fallen snow in the forest near their home, twelve-year-old Nicky Dillon and her father come upon something inconceivable: there, in the pristine winter scene, an abandoned infant wails, its survival made possible only by the coincidence of their having chosen this path for their evening stroll.
Anita Shreve delivers her most powerful novel yet -a mesmerizing story of the secrets we keep and the secrets we unearth, and the power of forgiveness to mend even the most battered souls.


'A novel whose emotional depth belies its simple-seeming exterior... a gem of a book'
