BRILLIANT WOMEN'S FICTION TELLING A HEARTBREAKING TALE OF GOOD INTENTIONS GONE WRONG. YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO PUT DOWN THIS BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN NOVEL TILL THE SHOCKING AND EMOTIONAL CONCLUSION

What happens when you take an orphaned child into your new family?

May has just started a new life with Nathan and his son from his first marriage. May meets a recently orphaned little girl, Elva, at the children's home where May teaches. She develops a close relationship with Elva, and together with her husband, she draws the child into their loving family circle. The bereaved girl blossoms in the easy affection of the new family.

But there are clouds on the horizon: Nathan's ex-wife is hell-bent on disrupting the situation and complex ties of obligation and guilt threaten to destroy May's job, marriage, and everyone she loves.

This is a gripping, sometimes harrowing novel telling the story of a blended family fighting for survival. There may be no perfect happy endings, but with love there is always hope for the future.

Great for people who like Hilary Boyd, Jodi Picoult, Anne Enright, or Elena Ferrante
