From Diane Chamberlain, the
bestselling author of The Midwife's Confession, comes this story of
overcoming the past and learning to live anew.
Twenty years ago, a terrible tragedy shattered the tranquillity of
the small Pennsylvania Dutch town of Reflection. The residents of the
village have never forgiven the one woman they blamed for what happened -
Rachel Huber. After the incident, Rachel left the town and cut off all
ties there. But when Rachel receives the news that her estranged
grandmother, Helen, is ill and needs her care, she returns to
Reflection.
But the town has not forgotten the past and amongst the hostility
and gossip, Rachel is forced to seek out old allies and new passions.
Soon she finds an unlikely advocate in her grandmother, who surprises
her with her wise counsel and rare strength. Rachel comes to realize
that they are both trying to overcome the past, and in doing so brings
private guilt and concealed secrets into the light.
