Isabelle Stein is leaving her marriage after finding out that her husband has a pregnant girlfriend on the side. While headed to New York City for a fresh start, she is in a car accident. The driver of the other car, April Nash, is stopped in the middle of the foggy road without headlights on. She is killed instantly. Her 9 year old son, Sam, survives. It turns out that these two women are from the same small town on the Cape.
Though Isabelle isn't guilty of any crime, she feels guilty that the other woman, a mother, was killed and she begins learning more about April's family, son Sam and husband Charlie. Sam is convinced that the woman he saw at the accident (Isabelle) is an angel who will eventually let him see or communicate with his dead mother. Sam follows Isabelle home one day and she befriends him. They see each other occasionally and she gets him interested in photography. At first, Charlie is hesitant to let Sam spend time with Isabelle, however, he soon realizes that it's good for Sam. Charlie's and Isabelle's lives become more intertwined as they help Sam and as their own emotional wounds heal as well.
I hate to give anymore away without giving away the whole story! This book was intriguing from the very first page and I couldn't put it down.
