A powerful, suspenseful novel of an unthinkable accident—and its long, devastating aftermath—by the author of Fall from Grace.

A boy is arguing with a girl on a park bench. A few miles away, a mother is pushing a baby buggy along the pavement. Minutes later, their paths will cross, and lives will be forever changed . . .

In the hours before the accident, Benjamin was the recipient of an athletic scholarship at an American college—his dream come true. But it meant he had to have a difficult conversation with his girlfriend.

Beth was a new mother struggling with postpartum depression, tempted to numb her pain and guilt with an extramarital affair. And Tim, Beth’s husband, was overjoyed with, and deeply devoted to, his little Ruby.

In the wake of the accident, their lives are dramatically altered. And in the following decades, their individual paths will cross once again . . .
