Miriam's fear of another miscarriage and Calvin's quiet pull toward a foster child named Miles make for a story that trusts real, hard feelings instead of glossing past them. Two established review blogs have covered it, which is more than most titles here get, but I still can't confirm how those reviews actually landed — a solid effort just shy of a sure thing.
