by Anita Shreve
When 12-year-old Nicky Dillon and her dad find a baby in the snow in the woods near their home, the following few days are a whirlwind of activity. And when a young woman shows up at their house, Nicky and her dad struggle with doing what is legally right and what is right for everyone involved.
Anita Shreve always presents a good read and good characters. Told in retrospect by a grown-up Nicky, the story mostly focuses on the couple of days that Nicky, her dad and the baby's mother are snow-bound in the Dillon's home. How did the baby end up in the snow? Why did the mother come back? What will happen to the baby? The mother? And how will all of this change the relationship between Nicky and her widowed father?
