This is a story of family relationships, racial strife, miracles, attempted murder, birth and eath, and an extraordinary love affair.

"Stunning....The story is riveting, the characters achingly human, and the writing will take your breath away....[MacDonald] has leapt into the first rank of fiction writers" (Toronto Star)
