A suspenseful， lyrical account of one man s search for the truth， by the master storyteller The Washington Post Book World has called "a writer of great wisdom and compassion."For more than a century， the small town of Haddan， Massachusetts， has been divided， as if by a line drawn down the center of Main Street， separating those born and bred in the village from those who attend the prestigious Haddan School. But one October night the two worlds are thrust together due to an inexplicable death， and the town s divided history is revealed in all its complexity. The lives of everyone involved are unraveled: from Carlin Leander， the fifteen-year-old girl who is as loyal as she is proud， to Betsy Chase， a woman running from her own destiny; from August Pierce， a boy who unexpectedly finds courage in his darkest hour， to Abel Grey， the police officer who refuses to let unspeakable actions--both past and present--slide by without notice. Entertainment Weekly has declared that Alice Hoffman s worlds are "replete with miracles" and The Boston Globe has praised her "iridescent prose， taut narrative suspense， and alluring atmosphere." Now she brings us a novel as compelling as it is daring， an exploration of forgiveness and hope， a wondrous tale of innocence and evil， and of the secrets we keep.
