In another part of the duplex where Rose-Ellen lives, nine-year-old Ingrid Knox is convinced that Polly Pinch is the mother she's never met. When chance brings Ingrid and Rose-Ellen together, they form a friendship that changes their lives.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“This story of a young widow edging warily back into the world is full of vivid characters and grace. Imbued with hope but blessedly lacking in sentimentality, it is a fresh, stirring take on the devastation of grief and the holiness of friendship.” —Marisa de los Santos, New York Times bestselling author of Falling Together
“Newcomer Alicia Bessette has written a love letter of a novel. There’s enough warmth here to fill your house on the coldest night. You’ll wish you knew these people, this world.” —Justin Cronin, New York Times bestselling author of The Passage
“In her wise and delightfully fresh debut, Alicia Bessette has composed a tender song that rises through the clouds of loss and grief until it bursts into a joyous celebration of the human heart. To read this story is to embrace life.” —Beth Hoffman, New York Times bestselling author of Saving CeeCee Honeycutt
“[A] nicely wrought debut…Charming, with a dash of romance.” —Kirkus Reviews
