Fourteen-year-old Joseph is misunderstood. He was incarcerated for trying to kill a teacher. Or so the rumours say. But Jack and his family see something others in town don’t want to.
What’s more, Joseph has a daughter he’s never seen. The two boys go on a journey through the bitter Maine winter to help Joseph find his baby – no matter the cost.
As you can probably tell from my blog title, I am in love with the name of this book. I picked it up in the bookshop, read the blurb, and put it back down with a ‘eehhh, this is kind of weird’ in my head. I didn’t think about this book for the next couple of months, until I found it again on a library shelf. It’s a pretty short read, and the cover is gorgeous, so I shrugged and picked it up.
