The family seemed intricately bound together with threads frayed with age, yet still strong and permanent . . . until he came.
Despite the "crinkled pink petals strewn in the path of those who would have preferred red," four generations of Eliots have survived the War and are moving forward. The family's remarkable matriarch Lucilla is still with them, though she's facing the dark night of the soul. All is turned on its head with the arrival of Sebastian, another survivor of WWII. He has a story far more painful than any of the Eliots. While with them, he wrestles with questions about his own disconnected existence.

Elizabeth Goudge was a British novelist (1900-1984) born into the home of an Anglican
priest and theologian. She wrote children's books as well as novels--her Green Dolphin
Street was made into an Academy-Award-winning film. In style and themes she parallels
English writers such as the creator of the Miss Read series as well mirroring the spiritual
depth found in George MacDonald's Victorian novels. She won the Carnegie Award in 1947
for The Little White Horse, J. K. Rowling's favorite children's book.
