From New York Times bestselling author A. Manette Ansay comes an unforgettable story of two families united by tragedy -- and one woman's deeply emotional journey toward a choice she'd never thought possible.On an ordinary morning in Fox Harbor, Wisconsin, Meg and Rex Van Dorn's lives are irrevocably altered when a drunk driver -- Meg's onetime best friend, Cindy Ann Kreisler -- slams into the Van Dorns' car, killing their six-year-old son, Evan. As Meg recovers from her own injuries, she and Rex are shocked when Cindy Ann receives a mere slap on the wrist. In their rage and grief, they buy a boat to sail around the world, hoping to put as much distance as possible between themselves and Cindy Ann. But when Meg returns to Fox Harbor for a family wedding, she's forced to face the complex ties that bind her to the woman who has destroyed her peace.

This story was all at once sad and uplifting...I felt badly for the couple who left to sail, and for the woman who was responsible. Incredible book.
A woman and her husband, Meg and Rex, finally have a child after years of trying. When the little boy, Evan, is six, he is killed by a drunk driver, a woman who was once Meg's close friend. Very Oprah-ish, but a page turner, nevertheless.
