If our little boy's health, even his survival, is at stake, we have to do whatever it takes." 1928, New York City: Ellen and Lucas Lyman have made a heart-wrenching decision to leave their beloved Amherst Island behind in search of a new life.

With Lucas making money on the stock market, and Ellen finding fulfilment as a mother, at first they are happy raising their family, together, in the most exciting city in the world.

With Lucas unable to leave his job, it is down to her to take Jamie to a place he might recover even if it means making the journey across America without him. Ellen knows what she must do. What every mother would do to save their child. Even if it takes her further away from the man she loves - and every place she has called home - than ever before.

From a million-copy bestselling author, comes an unforgettable and heartbreaking story about one woman's determination to keep her family together when their world falls apart... "Mom, why are you so mad at Dad?""I'm not," I say, which isn't exactly true. Putting on a brave face for my two young daughters-pretending everything is fine in my marriage-has been hard. That, and losing the house after Daniel lied to me. I never expected to have to uproot my family to go live in my parents' isolated cottage on Lost Lake. It's twenty miles to the nearest town, an insignificant speck in endless pine forests. Nobody's lived here for a decade. Now, I pick up a rusty pail from its nest of autumn leaves and turn to my daughter. Suddenly, I recall how I used to help my own mother pick wild strawberries up here as a little girl. Maybe, this isn't a punishment. Maybe this place will be the making of our family. I'm still thinking it when my daughter rests her silky head on my shoulder that evening in the flickering firelight. And when, over a steaming cup of coffee at dawn, I watch a single loon cut a course through the mirrored surface of Lost Lake. Later, I'll hold on to these memories-ghostly shreds of another life.
