SynopsisNATIONAL BESTSELLER * "[Kristin] Hannah is superb at delving into her main characters' psyches and delineating nuances of feeling." --The Washington Post Book World From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Women comes a poignant, evocative story that celebrates the magic of motherhood, the joys of coming home, and the price we so willingly pay for love. Years of trying unsuccessfully to conceive a child have broken more than Angie DeSaria's heart. Following a painful divorce, she moves back to her small Pacific Northwest hometown and takes over management of her family's restaurant. In West End, where life rises and falls like the tides, Angie's fortunes will drastically change yet again when she meets and befriends a troubled young woman. Angie hires Lauren Ribido because she sees something special in the seventeen-year-old. They quickly form a deep bond, and when Lauren is abandoned by her mother, Angie offers the girl a place to stay. But nothing could have prepared Angie for the far-reaching repercussions of this act of kindness. Together, these two women--one who longs for a child and the other who longs for a mother's love--will be tested in ways that neither could have imagined. "Enormously entertaining . . . Hannah has a nice ear for dialogue and a knack for getting the reader inside the characters' heads."-- The Seattle Times, Years of trying unsuccessfully to conceive a child have broken more than Angie DeSaria's heart.
