Chris Bohjalian has done it again. This is the second book of his that I have read. His books seem to really tug at the heartstrings and make you think, "What would I do in this situation?" It has been two years since Terry and Laura Sheldon have lost their twin girls in a horrendous flood. They both are different people since that instance, but still are trying to get their lives back in order. When Alfred is brought into their lives, you can start to see a change in them both. Laura for the better, but Terry not so much. Not only is Alfred not theirs(he's a foster kid), but he's also black. How will their friends and family adjust to their new child? And how will they? How will Alfred, he's been to so many houses in his past, will this finally be the place he gets to stay? With so many obstacles to overcome, will this family be able to stay together and mend the broken pieces of their lives?

Extensive cast and amazing world building
This is an amazing book. From the first few pages you are drawn into the town of Castle Rock and greeted like an old friend. The entire style of writing is meant to make the reader feel comfortable while diving deep into the world of the characters and their lives. This is some of King's best work when it comes to character development and world building. Every character has a past to be explored and a personality to be discovered.
