Publisher Description

Pregnant and grieving, twenty-something Tiggy arrives at the remote house of her friend Julia in the middle of a snowstorm. All alone, having lost her mate in a tragic accident, Tiggy finds refuge with Julia’s warm and chaotic family. Nurtured and loved at last, Tiggy begins to live again as she eagerly awaits the birth of her son. But nearly thirty years later, when her son is about to become a father himself, the next generation discovers that there are some secrets of the past that still live on.

"I like all her books! This one weaves a story between 1976 and 2004. Perhaps not as dynamic as her previous works, but I still loved it! "

— Eleanor (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “The women are largely faultless and sweet…Angela makes a delicious antagonist, and the friendships at the novel’s heart—especially the tender relationship between Julia and Tiggy—are believable and warming.”

    — Publishers Weekly

  • “The always captivating Willett accurately traces the tangled threads of family relations and the complications in untying them, understanding that sometimes it’s wiser to tie them tighter.”

    " a so so story but i hated the format, the story went back and forth betwen 1976 and 2004 which I like when books do that but everytime it went to one of the years, the narrative was only for 2-3 pages so it was short and then back to the other year. Got kind of old. "
