Synopsis
Nicky Dillon is 12 years old, and it has been two years since her mother and little sister were killed in an automobile accident. Now she lives with her grieving father, Robert, and when, one winter day, they find an abandoned newborn baby in the snowy woods, old wounds are opened--and new ones are suffered as well. As the police gradually establish the baby's parentage, young Nicky gains some insight into her father, and into her rapidly maturing self. The story is told by Nicky as an adult, many years later.

Industry Reviews
"[T]he story shifts brilliantly between childlike visions of a simple world and the growing realization of its cruel ambiguities....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 throughout."
Publishers Weekly (09/20/2004)
"Shreve prolongs the suspense nicely, although she wraps everything up a bit too quickly and too glibly. Still, this small-scale story leaves you with a genuinely unnerving sense of larger forces at work...."
New York Times Book Review - John Hartl (12/19/2004)
