Forced to stay put, Silvie shares with Hershel something of her own shattered past. But even as they struggle to put their lives back together, Silvie and Hershel are being thrust into the sights of a desperate and vicious man.With lyrical, atmospheric prose, Heather Sharfeddin depicts ordinary people in the grip of mythic tragedy.
