Pregnant and grieving, twenty-something Tiggy arrives at the remote house of her friend Julia in the middle of a snowstorm. All alone, having lost her mate in a tragic accident, Tiggy finds refuge with Julia's warm and chaotic family. Nurtured and loved at last, Tiggy begins to live again as she eagerly awaits the birth of her son. But nearly thirty years later, when her son is about to become a father himself, the next generation discovers that there are some secrets of the past that still live on. "The women are largely faultless and sweet…Angela makes a delicious antagonist, and the friendships at the novel's heart-especially the tender relationship between Julia and Tiggy-are believable and warming." "The always captivating Willett accurately traces the tangled threads of family relations and the complications in untying them, understanding that sometimes it's wiser to tie them tighter."
