From Library Journal : In her first novel, the talented Albanese weaves a poignant story of two women suddenly faced with the heartbreak of losing a child. Lynelle Carter's daughter, Grace, just two days old, dies of SIDS; then Lynelle, responding to her need for a baby, snatches Annie Thompson's three-month-old son Dylan from his stroller. Misguided but not malicious, Lynelle becomes obsessed with trying to reach the spirit of her own mother (also named Grace), who died when Lynelle was a child. Now doubly bereft and mourning, she sees the child whom she abducted as an answer to her prayers. The tale that follows shifts smoothly back and forth from Lynelle to Annie, as the author explores love, loss, justice, and forgiveness.Combined Postage available when you buy many items.
