Fiction Family Life
Alone since her mother's death, Jill Wagner wants to eat,
sleep and breathe Cade Olmstead when he bursts upon her
life—golden, handsome and ambitious. Even putting college on
hold feels like a minor sacrifice when she discovers she's
pregnant with Cade's baby. But it won't be the last
sacrifice she'll have to make. Retreating to the Olmsteads' New England farm seems
sensible, if not ideal—they'll regroup and welcome the baby,
surrounded by Cade's family. But the remote, ramshackle
place already feels crowded. Cade's mother tends to his
ailing father, while Cade's pious sister, her bigoted
husband and their rowdy sons overrun the house. Only Cade's
brother, Elias, a combat veteran with a damaged spirit,
gives Jill an ally amidst the chaos, along with a glimpse
into his disturbing childhood. But his burden is heavy, and
she alone cannot kindle his will to live. The tragedy of Elias is like a killing frost, withering Cade
in particular, transforming his idealism into bitterness and
paranoia. Taking solace in caring for her newborn son, Jill
looks up to find her golden boy is gone. In Cade's place is
a desperate man willing to endanger them all in the name of
vengeance…unless Jill can find a way out.
