I enjoyed this book. It takes place in a small town in New Hampshire where the main industry is the paper mill. As the wife of the owner of the mill, June McAllister has the duty to be perfect. Her appearance is immaculate and her house sparkles. Her marriage has been a bit rocky since she found out about her husband's infidelity a few years before. But Cal has apologized and promised it would never happen again. No comment. Together they have a teen-aged son, Nate. On the night before Thanksgiving June is fixing food when the phone rings. Her heart stops when she is informed that the school bus Nate was on has overturned on an icy road. Unable to reach Cal, June rushes to the scene. That night will change everything for June and her family. It will also change things for Mercy Snow and her siblings. After the death of their mother they came to the area and moved into an old abandoned RV. Their late family members were shunned by the town and now so are they. When Mercy's brother is blamed for the wreck she is determined to do whatever is necessary to protect him from the town. Interesting characters - not all of them are lovable for sure!
