"The world is made up of two places, two separate rooms—one for people who know grief, and the other for those who still haven't found it, a place for those who haven't yet opened that door."
Bright, self-confident, redheaded Rainey McBride is born in a crowded locker room after a basketball game. Abandoned by her teenage mother, to be raised in the Midwest by stern Scandinavian grandparents, her longing for love and affection is fulfilled by her exotic second cousin Ambrose Torsten Dienst, a stylish, wealthy, would-be Danish prince embodying all the grace and glamour missing from Rainey's stolid suburban life.
Following their dramatic first encounter at a Thanksgiving dinner in 1979, Rainey and Ambrose become blood brothers and swear their souls to protecting each other, a solemn vow that leads to devastating consequences years later, as Rainey's quest to experience and understand the nature of grief is shockingly realized.
