Synopsis

This epic novel moves from the Middle East to New Orleans and from New York to Haiti, spanning twenty years. Disastrous events call upon ordinary people to use their unique and special talents in extraordinary ways. Among them are Sourette, a young girl who lost her family in the 2010 Haitian earthquake, and becomes a caretaker of orphaned children; Jacob, who pays a terrible price through his work for peace in the Middle East; Ben, an architect, who gives up money and success to focus on innovative work to save lives; and Katen, an abused child, who struggles to overcome a past that threatens her future. Larkin's novel is both life-affirming and heartbreaking as it celebrates what it is to be human in a world of challenges and change---a world where unforgettable people struggle to live, find love, and respond honorably to the needs of others. Reading this novel will cause you to wonder how you would react if you walked in their shoes.
