Overview
Two years later, his widow, Jules, is now an employee of the bakery she and David used to ownāand still full of bitterness over Davidās lies, perceived cowardice, and ultimate abandonment of her and their now-teenage daughter, Rennie. Rennie, meanwhile, struggles socially at school, resents her work-obsessed mother, and is convinced sheās to blame for her fatherās death.
When Denise, the former police detective who worked (and, due to her own personal struggles at the time, mishandled) Davidās case, catches sight of Rennie at her sonsā school, sheās struck by the girlās halo of sadnessāand becomes obsessed with attempting to right the wrongs she believes she perpetrated two years ago.
And as all this unfolds in Boston, Daniel, the guilt-ridden young man who, in his old life as a banker, helped create the circumstances that led to Davidās suicide, continues to punish himself for his sins by living half a life, working odd jobs and bouncing from one US city to another, never staying long enough to make friends or build something lasting.
Ultimately, each of these very different peopleāall of them tied together by one tragic eventāmust learn in their own way how to say good-bye to the past and move into a brighter future.
