From Jacquelyn Mitchard, the #1 New York Times bestselling author
of The Deep End of the Ocean, the "suspenseful, otherwordly, and
nearly impossible to put down" (People) story about an unlikely hero
whose life is transformed when he rescues a boy with an extraordinary
gift.
Just hours after his wife and her entire family perish in the Christmas
Eve tsunami, former police officer Frank Mercy pulls a little boy from a
submerged car. Not quite knowing why, Frank doesn't turn Ian over to the
Red Cross. Instead he makes up a story about where the boy came from and
takes him home, where Frank realizes that Ian has an otherworldly
gift--an extraordinary ability to transform lives beyond anything he'd
ever imagined. Awed and confused, Frank confesses Ian's secret to
Claudia, a beautiful champion rider who is training for the Olympics.
They join together to fight the sinister forces gathering to take Ian
back. In a final confrontation, Frank and Claudia will risk
everything--their love, their family, their very lives--to save this boy
they now love as their own son.
