Twelve year old Nicky Dillon and her father find an abandoned baby girl in the snow covered woods outside their New Hampshire home. What follows is a story of birth, death, loss, abandonment and family. This is definitely pure Anita Shreve- wrenching a strong emotional response from her readers. Not only do we learn the story of this baby but also the tragedy that led Nicky and her dad to be living in the woods of New Hampshire. Riveting.
