A small girl is sent to live with foster parents on a farm in rural Ireland, without knowing when she will return home. In the strangers' house she finds affection she has not known before, and slowly she begins to blossom in their care. But when a secret is suddenly revealed, she realizes how fragile her idyll is.

Tremendous. Simply tremendous.

This book wowed me. So much heart and introspection and hope and despair and … Just read it.

""" 'Are you afraid of the dark?'

I want to say I am afraid but am too afraid to say so. """

""" There's a big moon shining on the yard, chalking our way onto the lane and along the road. Kinsella takes my hand in his. As soon as he takes it, I realise my father has never once held my hand, and some part of me wants Kinsella to let me go so I won't have to feel this. """
