Light on snow

Anita Shreve

a novel

The events of a December afternoon, on which a father and his daughter find an abandoned infant in the snow, will forever alter the twelve-year-old girl's understanding of the world and the adults who inhabit it: a father who has taken great pains to remove himself from society in order to put an unthinkable tragedy behind him ; a young woman who must live with the consequences of the terrible choices she has made ; and a detective whose cleverness is exceeded only by his sense of justice...Thirty-year-old Nicky recalls the vivid images of that fateful December. Her tale is one of love and courage, of tragedy and redemption, and of the ways in which the human heart seeks to heal itself
