A love story set in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest, about people struggling with their lives and the things that made them who they are. Susan Baker is trying to cope with the consequences of the death of her husband in a shooting accident, witnessed by her son Jamie, who has withdrawn into introverted silence. When Michael Somers returns to the town where he grew up, provoking resentment and suspicion among the members of the tightknit community, Susan and Jamie are drawn into a complex and emotional drama. The Library Journal described this international bestseller as 'beautiful and lyrical'. Nelson DeMille called it 'an exceptionally well-woven tapestry of romance and danger'. This new, completely revised edition is available now.
