What does a woman do when she's 39, childless, and completely alone for the first time in her life? Is she crazy if she sees her husband beside a display of plastic pumpkins? Or is that a natural response to grief that will diminish in time?

Sara McConnell's friends told her that it was normal; her glimpses of her husband would last a season and then fade away. But what if there was another answer? After all, his body was never found. What if he was real? Or real ijn some way she couldn't yet understand?

And what if he was planning to walk back into her life?

Great book, full of questions, mystery, and told simply but beautifully.
