About the book
WINNER OF THE 2020 MARY HIGGINS CLARK AWARD
The newest nail-biter from the globally renowned author of The Lake of Dead Languages and The Other Mother, a tale of mix-ups and missed opportunities, redemption, and retribution.
When ALICE steps off a bus during a blizzard in Delphi, NY, she is on the run from an abusive partner and determined to protect...
OREN, a ten-year-old with a passion for Star Wars and a wisdom beyond his years. Despite Alice's reservations, Oren quickly forms a strong bond with...
MATTIE, a social worker in her fifties who resides in a large dilapidated house in the heart of the forest. Living by herself, Mattie is always on call and is the first person contacted by the hotline for late-night rescues. While protocol dictates that Mattie should take Alice and Oren to a nearby shelter, she insists on taking them to her home for the night, claiming she has plenty of space. What she doesn't mention is that Oren reminds her of her younger brother, who passed away thirty years ago at the age of ten.
Yet, Mattie is not the only one concealing parts of the truth. Alice harbors her own secrets. With the snowstorm intensifying around them, each woman's past will resurface, unleashing internal and external threats.
