Synopsis

From the bestselling author of THE WOMAN NEXT DOOR comes another unforgettable story of friendship and love An unforgettable story that explores the ways in which we limit our own chances of happiness - and the accidents of fate that can set us free. Heather Malone has made her home in Lake Henry for the last fourteen years. When she is suddenly arrested by the FBI and charged with a murder in California some years back, the locals are bewildered about the past of this well-loved woman. Poppy Blake is Heather's closest friend. She has worked hard to rebuild her life since a snowmobile accident confined her to a wheelchair. However, it is her guilt over past mistakes, more than her present disability, which is holding her back. Barbara Delinsky has written a tightly knit and compelling story that explores the consequences of denial and regret and celebrates the values of community, friendship, and ultimately the redemptive power of love.
