Review:

"A lovely book. The characters are complex and well drawn, and the sea sings in every syllable."
-"New York Times" bestselling author Anne Rivers Siddons
"Henry gently draws readers into her story and then keeps them fully engaged until her tale is completely told. Readers who crave books that sparkle with the sheer beauty of language can rely on her."
--Booklist
"This beautifully written story starts with an intriguing premise that immediately grabs the reader's interest. Henry uses universal concepts such as belief and faith to delve into the difficult question of how well we really know anyone, even those closest to us. Once again, the setting is the visually vivid South, with characters you quickly come to care about. This is an emotionally wrenching but ultimately healing tale.a
