The internationally bestselling author of Into the Wilderness makes her highly anticipated return with a magnificent epic about the transcendent power of courage in nineteenth-century New York. The year is 1883, and although young surgeon Anna Savard and her cousin, Sophie, have become successful physicians, they never recovered from the losses they suffered as children. So when Anna encounters a child whos lost nearly everything, she must decide whether or not shes willing to let go of the past and let love into her life. Meanwhile, Sophies memories of being left alone in the world propel the young obstetrician to help a desperate mother—and catapult her into the orbit of a very dangerous man. Vividly drawing on historical events, Sara Donati has written a captivating, emotionally gripping novel that proves she is an author at the height of her powers.
