Really great writing...and a great story, too! From "the Guardian"
"The novel begins the summer after Nadia’s mother’s suicide. A brief romance with the local pastor’s son, Luke, leads to an unwanted pregnancy, and she’s put in the position of considering a termination. The impact of her decision follows her for the rest of the book."
I loved her next book, "the Vanishing Act" and I had this one on my "Want to Read" list for a long time. Glad I finally got around to it.
