A bitter storm. A quiet death. A whispered lie. When a winter storm roars down from the Rocky Mountains, the Texas Hill Country takes the brunt. Blocked roads. Power outages. Cell towers knocked out by ice and wind.
In Sparrows Cove, funeral director Rebecca Grant spots an elderly man collapsed beside the road, his satchel half-buried in the sleet. When the stranger cannot ... or will not ... say who he is or where he belongs, Rebecca and her friend Clay Borger take him to Sparrows Nest, a retreat center offering shelter to the displaced.
Stranded in a Charleston airport, Austin restaurateur Dechlan Whittaker grows uneasy. With each failed call, concern for his father ratchets higher. Are he and Percy stranded on the road between home and the lake house? Or are they hunkered down, cut off by the storm's reach?
When the bitter wind finally calms, a hush settles over the cottage at Sparrows Nest. The stranger, lovingly called Sir, grows quiet, the leather satchel clutched to his side. Rebecca and Clay share an urgent promise to find someone who knows the dear man's name, someone who is waiting to hear, not knowing where to look.
