As Charles Frazier did in Cold Mountain, he has again created a sense of place and strong backdrop for his new novel. In the mountains of Appalachian and largely in a vast, remote lodge, Luce has carved out a life of solitude and self-sufficiency. That aloneness comes to a sudden end when her sister's twin children who have witnessed violence, come under her care.  The children's father ruthlessly takes care of anyone who stands in his way. Because  he believes his children have a stash of money, he is on the hunt for them. Luce's challenge is one of moving our of  her comfort zone to heal the past as she protects and builds a future for her new family. Filled with tension that keeps you turning the pages but also offers you hope and tenderness.
