  • "Bernadette and Bernard Doyle share a great love for family. Already blessed with a son, they adopt two black children, Teddy and Tip. Even after Bernadette dies, she continues to exert a profound influence over the family. And then Tip is pushed out of a car's path in a sudden act of heroism, and lives are bound by this selfless act."@en
  • "The unforgiving New England weather has taken a turn for the worse on the day Doyle drags his reluctant sons to a speech by Jesse Jackson. Fired by Jackson's rhetoric, he is perplexed by the boys' indifference. Tiff and Teddy are adopted. Teddy - open, affectionate, the gentle dreamer - thinks he has found his calling in the Catholic church. Tip is more serious, reserving his own passionate interest for ichthyology..."
  • "Since their mother's death, Tip and Teddy Doyle have been raised by their loving, possessive, and ambitious father. As the former mayor of Boston, Bernard Doyle wants to see his sons in politics, a dream the boys have never shared. But when an argument in a blinding New England snowstorm inadvertently causes an accident that involves a stranger and her child, all Bernard cares about is his ability to keep his children-all his children-safe. 2007."@en

  • "It's just after Christmas, and the New England weather has worsened. Doyle has dragged his reluctant sons to a speech by Jesse Jackson, despairing at their indifference to politics. The two boys, both adopted, are close in age, but they couldn't be more different: Teddy, warm and affectionate, believes his calling is in the Catholic Church. The older by a year, Tip is happiest alone in his lab, labelling and categorising fish specimens. When they are involved in a violent accident on the icy road, the family is forced to confront certain truths: about how the death of Bernadette, Doyle's wife, has affected the family, and about the anonymous figure, never discussed, who is the boys' real mother."@en

[This novel] takes us from the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard to a home for retired Catholic priests in downtown Boston. It shows us how worlds of privilege and poverty can coexist only blocks apart from each other, and how family can include people you've never even met. [In the novel, the author] illustrates the humanity that connects disparate lives, weaving several stories into one narrative. [It is] a novel about secrets, duty, responsibility, and the lengths we will go to protect our children.-Dust jacket."@en
