About this title

Book Description:

From Diane Chamberlain, the bestselling author of The Midwife's Confession, comes this story of overcoming the past and learning to live anew.

From the Back Cover:

Twenty years ago, a terrible tragedy shattered the tranquillity of the small Pennsylvania Dutch town of Reflection. The residents have never forgiven the one woman they blamed for what happened - Rachel Huber - and after the incident, she left Reflection and cut off all ties there. But when Rachel receives the news that her estranged grandmother, Helen, is ill and needs her care, she has to return.

Yet 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.
