I held him tightly against me. He was neither cold nor warm. One of his outstretched hands, clenched in fear, was touching the side of my face. The relief of finding him at last overwhelmed everything – everything except the fear of this place. I wanted to turn around so that I could head back towar...

Apparently, if you write a story that starts on a train with a character that has received a mysterious package, I'm all in.That being said, this book was difficult for me to finish.
