Amazon.com description: Product Description: For more than a century, the small town of Haddan, Massachusetts, has been divided, as if a line drawn down the center of Main Street, separating those born and bred in the village from those who attend the prestigious Haddan School. But one October night the two worlds are thrust together due to an inexplicable death, and the townâs divided history is revealed in all its complexity. The lives of everyone involved are unraveled: from Carlin Leander, the fifteen-year-old girl who is as loyal as she is proud, to Betsy Chase, a woman running from her own destiny; from August Pierce, a boy who unexpectedly finds courage in his darkest hour, to Abel Grey, the police officer who refuses to let unspeakable actionsâboth past and presentâslide by without notice. Entertainment Weekly has declared that Alice Hoffmanâs worlds are âreplete with miraclesâ and The Boston Globe has praised her âiridescent prose, taut narrative suspense, and alluring atmosphere.â âAn inventive, romantic, and insightful storyteller, Hoffman touches everyone and everything with her magic wand, illuminating the power of emotion and exquisite mysteries of life.â â Booklist
