In her most emotionally charged novel to date, "New York Times"
bestselling author Heather Gudenkauf explores the unspoken events
that shape a community, the ties between parents and their children
and how the fragile normalcy of our everyday life is so easily
shattered.
In the midst of a sudden spring snowstorm, an unknown man armed
with a gun walks into an elementary school classroom. Outside the
school, the town of Broken Branch watches and waits.
Officer Meg Barrett holds the responsibility for the town's
children in her hands. Will Thwaite, reluctantly entrusted with the
care of his two grandchildren by the daughter who left home years
earlier, stands by helplessly and wonders if he has failed his
child again. Trapped in her classroom, Evelyn Oliver watches for an
opportunity to rescue the children in her care. And
thirteen-year-old Augie Baker, already struggling with the
aftermath of a terrible accident that has brought her to Broken
Branch, will risk her own safety to protect her little brother.
As tension mounts with each passing minute, the hidden fears and
grudges of the small town are revealed as the people of Broken
Branch race to uncover the identity of the stranger who holds their
children hostage.
