When ten-year-old Dinah Kirkham saw her father leave their Manchester home in the middle of the night, she basked when he would be back. "Soon," he replied. But he never came back. On that night in 1829, John Kirkham laid the foundation of his daughter's certainty that the only person Dinah could ever really trust was herself.
From that day forward, Dinah worked to support her family, remaining devoted to their welfare even in the face of despair and grinding poverty. Then one day she heard a new message, a new purpose ignited in her heart, and new life opened up before her.

Book Description: In 1972, windswept DeClare, Oklahoma, was consumed by the murder of a young mother, Gaylene Harjo, and the disappearance of her baby, Nicky Jack. When the child's pajama bottoms were discovered on the banks of Willow Creek, everyone feared that he, too, had been killed, although his body was never found.
Nearly thirty years later, Nicky Jack mysteriously returns to DeClare, shocking the town and stirring up long-buried memories. But what he discovers about the night he vanished is more astonishing than he or anyone could have imagined.
My Review: I really loved this book, I became so enraptured with the story. The story seems to unroll slowly like a flower opening. It's an amazing book.
Not sure what I'll do with this book now.

Adding to Trekwoman's Bookbox #2 - I've enjoyed novels by Billie Letts before.
Found languishing in a box of books in my closet. Being added to a box I am collecting for Goodwill, as I am in a shelf-weeding, cleaning mode.
