"Addictive...An engaging and poignant historical fiction." Kirkus Reviews
Can love for a secret child heal old wounds?
St. Paul, Minnesota, 1946: Introspective and artistic Shannon Malone and her more popular sister Eliza are Irish twins and best friends. As little girls, they relied on each other for companionship and affection as their mother remained distant, beating back the demons of her own mysterious childhood. In the summer of 1946 as womanhood approaches, both look forward to promising—but different-futures. When tragedy rocks the Malone family, one sister leaves, possibly forever. The other, physically and emotionally scarred, vows to hold the invisible thread that runs between them. In the course of her journey, she encounters a child with a hidden past, the love of a good man and the true meaning of family, but is it enough to bring her sister home?
