back cover - What makes a family? That's what twelve-year-old Nicky Dillon wonders after she and her widowed father discover a wailing abandoned baby in the snow-filled woods near their New Hampshire home. Through the days that follow, the Dillons and the unexpected visitor who soon turns up at their door - a young woman evidently haunted by her own terrible choices - face a thicket of decision, each seeming to carry equal possibilities of heartbreak or redemption.
