Brody, just released from prison after a 10 year sentence for killing a baby, returns to his hometown to be near his father - about the only person who believes in his innocence. He meets with rejection and loathing on every side until chance crosses his path with Ashley, a young single mother who is being treated as an unwanted outsider and who has experienced more than her own share of rejection and tragedy. Ashley is more or less railroaded by her tenant, Wilson, into giving Brody a job - Wilson knowing all about Brody’s background, while Ashley, the newcomer, knows nothing about him.
The author develops her characters skilfully, building up sympathy and concern as they experience crisis after crisis, each one bringing them closer together, and making the inevitable moment when Ashley finds out about Brody’s past more unbearable. I confess tears were running down my face when I reached that part of the book, and for quite a few pages after.
