The acclaimed #1 New York
Times bestselling author presents a spellbinding tale of
a mother's tragic loss and one man's last chance at gaining
salvation.
Can we save ourselves, or do we rely
on others to do it? Is what we believe always the truth?
One moment June Nealon was happily looking forward to
years full of laughter and adventure with her family, and
the next, she was staring into a future that was as empty as
her heart. Now her life is a waiting game. Waiting for time
to heal her wounds, waiting for justice. In short, waiting
for a miracle to happen.
For Shay Bourne, life holds no
more surprises. The world has given him nothing, and he has
nothing to offer the world. In a heartbeat, though,
something happens that changes everything for him. Now, he
has one last chance for salvation, and it lies with June's
eleven-year-old daughter, Claire. But between Shay and
Claire stretches an ocean of bitter regrets, past crimes,
and the rage of a mother who has lost her child.
Would
you give up your vengeance against someone you hate if it
meant saving someone you love? Would you want your dreams to
come true if it meant granting your enemy's dying wish?
Once again, Jodi Picoult mesmerizes and enthralls readers
with this story of redemption, justice, and love.
