Summary
Alice gets off a bus in the middle of a snowstorm in Delphi, NY, fleeing an abusive relationship and desperate to protect ten-year-old Oren, a major Star Wars fan wise beyond his years. Though Alice is wary, Oren bonds nearly instantly with Mattie, the person the hotline always calls when they need a late-night pickup. Mattie is a social worker in her fifties who lives alone in an enormous run-down house in the middle of the woods, and instead of taking them to a local shelter, Mattie brings them home for the night. Both Mattie and Alice are keeping secrets. And as the snowstorm worsens, each woman's past will prove itself unburied, stirring up threats within and without.
