When she joins a loving adoptive family, she buries all the memories of her former life - even her last memory of her sister, Jolene, pledging in a courtroom that she would come back for Lela some day.
Then, one day, a strange man walks into Lela's life, bringing with him a neglected child who needs her love. Lela is forced to confront the past she never acknowledged and decides to carve out a new future for herself and for the family that has somehow managed to blossom out of ruin.

"Another great read by Kristin Hannah! This book, and the relationship between Meg and Claire, totally hooked me and I could not put the book down. The characters were interesting and the story was engrossing; I don't want to spoil any of the story by mentioning all the developments that I enjoyed. I highly recommend this book!" — Karen (5 out of 5 stars)
