The story opens in the middle of a terrible snowstorm. Molly, who lives alone is interrupted by a delivery man called Ethan who needs to take some urgent medication further up the mountain - and leaves his infant daughter Laney to her care. Molly is terrified, for reasons which later become clear, but cannot refuse... This highly unlikely scenario sets the scene for a story that is quite moving in places, as the main characters grow closer to each other, and unwrap their past guilt and unhappiness over various circumstances. It's overtly Christian, which is fine; I didn't feel that the references to God were over-done, and the book wasn't too preachy; indeed, some of the Christian characters were shown in rather a bad, unforgiving light. Unfortunately, a lot of the writing was rather introspective, switching at will between different viewpoints, and with far too many lengthy inner viewpoints, often repeated, with little action. I did like Molly's aunt Patsy, a redoubtable elderly Christian lady of integrity, but then wondered why on earth Laney hadn't been left with her in the opening part of the book. Most of the other characters were rather flat, however. The ending is good, after a thrilling - and oddly moving - climax which then leads to a lot of rather rapid tying of up ends, and happy (if not quite believable) reconciliation. But I doubt if I'll read this again. It's not a bad book, but I felt could have done with some significant editing. I read this in early in the year. From what I can remeber is that there a snowstorm and Ethan is looking for a place to have his daughter safe and sound until he can make it back after making his delievery. There so much going on. Molly has a hard time with the infant and she can not come with her faith until it a strangers. She is always wanted to a family and does she get it or not. you will need to read to find out.
