Nan Rossiter is a USA Today and New York Times bestselling author from Pelham New York. She still remembers her childhood in Pelham where she spent a lot of time riding her bike complete with a sissy bar and banana seat. Even as a child, she loved reading and would ride her Stingray bike to the Pelham Library. It was a tiny space built as an extension to the Hutchinson Elementary school though she would not have cared if she had to read under a tree. It was in that very same library that she first got hooked into books and reading. Some of her favorite characters included the likes of Harriet the Spy, Laura Ingalls, and Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle. Later on, her family moved to Barkhamsted in Connecticut and she went to Northwestern Regional 7 High School before she graduated with a degree in illustration from the Rhode Island School of Design. After several years as a freelancer, she began writing and illustrating children’s books publishing her first work that won the Nebraska Golden Sower Award with “Rugby & Rosie.” She published her first novel “The Gin & Chowder Club” in 2011.

In recent years, Nan has been writing contemporary fiction on the themes of family and faith. Her novels have received star reviews and been acclaimed by the likes of Booklist to Publisher’s Weekly.

The only thing they do not have is a child as Macey just had her fifth miscarriage in as many years and she worries that she may never get a child. Her sister believes that she should go for adoption but Ben and Macey are not interested in that until Keeper, a Golden Retriever finds its way into their hearts and home. Meanwhile, Harper Wheaton has been expelled from another foster home and with her temper, it seems that she would not be her last. She cannot explain why she has such a terrible temper; maybe it is because no foster home is willing to take in a nine-year-old with cardiac problems. She loves Cora her social worker but she cannot stay with her forever as she wants to find a family that will love her. Macey has met a lot of people since she is a physician’s assistant but she has not met anyone like Wheaton.

But then the child goes missing and the Samuelsons come to the realization that life is complicated.
