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.
