Harper Montgomery works at the local railroad station and lives conservatively with his daughter, Shelley. He rides his bicycle to work each day and is still grieving the loss of his wife twelve years ago.
One day, he's informed of a train derailment in Two Rivers, Vermont with people still trapped in the train. He runs to the river, crawls through the water into a train car but isn't able to find anyone to help. Back on the shore he sees a young girl from the train, with skin as black as blueberries. She's wet from the river and makes up a story to pursuade Harper to permit her to stay with him. He's still remembering an event with a black man, associated with his wife's death and permits her to move in with him and his daughter. Later, he learns that she is expecting a child and that she came to Two Rivers searching for her brother, Harper fears what this might mean.
This plot driven story dwells on Harper's turmoil throughout the book. It is oppressive and this reader wishes he would have counseling and get on with his life.
The setting with life in rural Vermont is vivid but with Harper dwelling so much on his sad past, it lessens the enjoyment of the story.

wow
I haven't read such a captivating book in a long time like this. From the beginning I was drawn in by the characters and felt as if I knew them as the story went on. The ending blew me away. When I finished I went on-line and bought this authors other 3 books.
Definitely worth reading and worth sharing with other book lovers. get it soon..you won't be disappointed.
