The compelling and heartrending new novel from the author of the million-selling 'The Deep End of the Ocean'. In her third novel, Mitchard perceptively portrays the tenuous threads that connect modern families through the story of a young man, Gordon McKenna, whose beloved sister and her husband are tragically killed in a car accident, leaving behind their one-year-old child Keefer.
