Description

Jamie Forest, ex-New Yorker is on her way to her cabin to prepare for her first Thanksgiving in the Northwoods of Minnesota when she sees through the swirl of snow a ghostly apparition. It turns out not to be a ghost, but a young woman in labor. Not only is she about to deliver, but she doesn’t speak English. Jamie can’t ask her what she is doing in a lowland bog in the middle of a snowstorm. With the snow falling, she becomes an accidental midwife delivering a healthy baby girl in the backseat of her car. In the aftermath, it’s clear the new mother is afraid someone will take her baby. Three days later a young woman is found drowned in Black Crow Pond. Is she Jamie’s new mother? As she seeks answers, Jamie learns that winter in the Northwoods can be both beautiful and deadly.

A Note From the Publisher

Advance Praise

“Trouble finds Jamie and this time it’s as deep as the snow outside her door. The easiest of her worries is a deadline for a manuscript, and uncertain love adds a wrinkle. The real challenge begins when she literally drives into a unique criminal enterprise. It’s cold in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, but Linda Norlander’s deft storytelling reveals just how deep desire and greed run, and how compassion and understanding are the ultimate warmth.”
