From acclaimed novelist Sarah Jio (The Bungalow, The Violets
of March) a new “mystery-slash-love story [that] will have
you racing to the end”
Seattle, 1933. Vera Ray kisses her three-year-old son,
Daniel, goodnight and reluctantly leaves for work. She hates
the nightshift, but it’s the only way she can earn enough to
keep destitution at bay. In the morning—even though it’s the
second of May—a heavy snow is falling. Vera rushes to wake
Daniel, but his bed is empty. His teddy bear lies outside in
the snow.
Seattle, present day. On the second of May, Seattle Times
reporter, Claire Hanson, awakens to another late-season
snowstorm. Assigned to cover this “blackberry winter” and
its predecessor decades earlier, Claire learns of Daniel’s
unsolved abduction and vows to unearth the truth—only to
discover that she and Vera are linked in unexpected ways.
