When Apple's mother returns after eleven years of absence, Apple feels almost whole again. In order to heal completely, her mother will have to answer one burning question: Why did she abandon her? But just like the stormy Christmas Eve when she left, her mother's homecoming is bittersweet. It's only when Apple meets her younger sister, Rain—someone more lost than she is—that she begins to see things for how they really are, allowing Apple to discover something that might help her to feel truly whole again.
From the author of the acclaimed The Weight of Water comes a beautifully-crafted, moving novel about family, betrayal, and the ultimate path to healing.

Critic Reviews
Readers . . . will cheer for Apple and Rain.
The story will be reassuring for those readers who are in similar situations, especially when Apple learns of the strength she possesses, but was not aware of, until she had to be.
[The] story is involving, and Apple and Rain are engaging, sympathetic characters. This one is for readers who dote on happy endings.
A realistic . . . tale about growing up and parenting.
An enjoyable YA novel. . . . Charming.
Crossan’s ear is flawless in capturing the cries of a young girl’s heart.
