About this item
For fans of authors like Barbara Kingsolver and Leif Enger, a stunning new voice in contemporary literary fiction. -Tragedy and blessing. Leave them alone long enough, and it gets real hard to tell them apart.- Elena Alvarez is living a cursed life. From the deadly fire she accidentally set as a child, to her mother's abandonment, and now to an unwanted pregnancy, she knows better than most that small actions can have terrible consequences. Driven to the high mountains surrounding Leadville, Colorado by her latest bad decision, she's intent on putting off the future. Perhaps there she can just hide in her grandmother's isolated cabin and wait for something--anything--to make her next choice for her. Instead, she is confronted by reflections of her own troubles wherever she turns--the recent widower and his two children adrift in a changed world, Elena's own mysterious family history, and the interwoven lives within the town itself.
