Nathan Steen was known as the man who would do anything to help others. For as long as his wife, Halley, had known him, he'd kept a pocket full of stones and as the day progressed would move them from one pocket to the other with every good deed he did. But it's only after his sudden death that the true extent of his generosity becomes clear to Halley. Then she and their children, Alice and Ty, watch as social media ignites with stories of thanks that bolster them during their time of grief. One woman's message, however, uncovers a secret by mentioning a girl she calls Nathan's daughter. Halley is crushed to find that Nathan had a past life he did not share with her and angry that he lied, but Alice believes there must be more to the story and sets out to find answers. Inspirational and heartwarming, Milne's newest work weaves his familiar feel-good tone into an enjoyable story about friendship, love, and family that is sure to please fans and newcomers alike.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2013, American Library Association.)
