Publisher's Synopsis
I never expected to have to uproot my family to go live in my parents' isolated cottage on Lost Lake. It's 20 miles to the nearest town, an insignificant speck in endless pine forests. Nobody's lived here for a decade. Now, I pick up a rusty pail from its nest of autumn leaves and turn to my daughter. Suddenly, I recall how I used to help my own mother pick wild strawberries up here as a little girl. Maybe, this isn't a punishment. Maybe this place will be the making of our family. Later, I'll hold on to these memories - ghostly shreds of another life. Because just eight hours after I tucked my daughters into bed, the world as I knew it was gone for good.
