A departure for Baldacci with much more emotion and heartbreak than his thrillers – but highly readable nonetheless. Fatal illness and a tragic accident look to be destroying the family of a 34 year old war veteran – then they are thrown a possible lifeline. A searing stand-alone novel from this worldwide bestseller.
When Jack Canfield is told he has a terminal illness and that he has
weeks to live, his first concern is for his beloved wife, Lizzie, and
children, baby Jack, Cory and rebellious teenager Mikki. On Christmas
Eve, when Lizzie comes home, Jack is devastated to see his neighbour,
Bill Miller, kiss Lizzie on their driveway. Jack confronts her, she
tries to explain he's got it all wrong, and distraught, she leaves the
house into an ice storm - and a fatal collision with a truck. Emotional,
family drama.
