内容简介：
"This is a wonderfully well-written book, filled with compassion for the people who inhabit its pages-people who could be us. Reiter keeps it plain as she tells the story of a mismatched couple: a pretty fifteen-year-old girl married to a tortured Civil War veteran.

Then there's that crow..." Dex Westrum, Author of Thomas McGuane and Elegy for a Golf Pro. "I love this book." Sarah Ngoh
