"Best-selling author Anita Shreve has chosen as her latest protagonist a 12-year-old girl, whose life has not just been touched by tragedy, but blown apart by it. Nicky and her father have moved to a remote house on the outskirts of a remote village somewhere in New Hampshire, following a road accident which has wiped out the rest of their family. Nicky¹s father would like to live like a hermit, but recognises, even through his intense grief, that 12-year-olds need many things the world has to offer.
And then, one afternoon, just as the light is beginning to fade, a brief walk in the snow-swept woods surrounding their home and a chance encounter brings father and daughter unexpectedly together. United in their shock at finding a newborn baby wrapped in a bloody sleeping bag, they move heaven and earth to save her life. They manage to get the infant to hospital, yet despite an outpouring of emotion, the pair soon start to fall back into their old ways; tiptoeing carefully around each other, fearing to speak the name of their grief, pretending at normality. Until, that is, a pretty young woman comes knocking on their door and all three are forced to question their motives and look into each other's hearts. (amazon)

Received this one as part of a trade. Thanks Kiki66for the beautiful mouse pad and the lovely postcard. I'm looking forward to reading it!
I was given this book to read by a friend at our book club meeting. When I saw the `read it and leave it`label and read the bookcrossing message my curiosity got the better of me and I just HAD to check the journey that this book took and where it originated. It`s a long trek from Germany to Canada and many years between (2005-2012) and now I`m even more curious about the time between then and now and how many hands and lands this book has passed through. Thank you KiKi 66 for firing up my imagination...may the journey continue....
