NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A well-told story of love and redemption (The Washington Post Book World) from the bestselling author of Still Life with Bread Crumbs A polished gem of a novel . . . lovingly crafted, beautifully written.--The Miami Herald Late one night, a teenage couple drives up to the big white clapboard house on the Blessing estate and leaves a box. In that instant, the lives of those who live and work at Blessings are changed forever. Skip Cuddy, the caretaker, finds a baby girl asleep in that box and decides he wants to keep her, while Lydia Blessing, the matriarch of the estate, for her own reasons, agrees to help him. Blessings explores how the secrets of the past affect decisions and lives in the present, what makes a person or a life legitimate or illegitimate and who decides, and the unique resources people find in themselves and in a community. Blessings is a powerful novel of love, redemption, and personal change by a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer.
