From New York Times bestselling author Catherine Ryan Hyde comes a
feel-good story of four outcasts who learn that some bonds are
stronger than blood. On an isolated Texas ranch, Dr. Lucy cares for
abandoned animals. The solitude allows her to avoid the people and
places that remind her of the past. Not that any of the townsfolk
care. In 1959, no one is interested in a woman doctor. Nor are they
welcoming Calvin and Justin Bell, a newly arrived African American
father and son. When Pete Solomon, a neglected twelve-year-old boy,
and Justin bring a wounded wolf-dog hybrid to Dr. Lucy, the
outcasts soon find refuge in one another. Lucy never thought she'd
make connections again, never mind fall in love. Pete never
imagined he'd find friends as loyal as Justin and the dog. But
these four people aren't allowed to be friends, much less a family,
when the whole town turns violently against them. With heavy
hearts, Dr. Lucy and Pete say goodbye to Calvin and Justin. But
through the years they keep hope alive...waiting for the world to
catch up with them.
