A medical emergency leaves desperate newlywed Gary with a very sick wife, a new baby, a mountain of bills - and no job. He is forced to make a difficult choice as he calls on his estranged sister-in-law, forcing long-buried emotions to come out, and saving his marriage and their lives.
'A magically written, heartbreakingly honest snapshot of the people we leave behind and those we can't let go; a portrait of the full spectrum of the human heart. Caroline Leavitt is one of those fabulous, incisive writers you read and then ask yourself, Where has she been all my life?' Jodi Picoult
