The disparate lives of two women—a single mother working hard to make ends meet and a young figure skater at the top of her game—entwine in an unforgettable novel of warmth\, depth\, and wisdom. Izzy and her daughter\, Quinn\, have been on the move for all of Quinn’s nine years\, until they settle at a pear farm on the Sacramento Delta. Seemingly a world away\, Karen is a rising young star in figure skating with an edgy\, daring new partner. As each woman struggles with a sudden thrust into the spotlight\, their narratives become more intertwined—until Izzy’s past and Karen’s future finally collide.
