David Winkler begins life in Anchorage, Alaska, a quiet boy drawn to the volatility of weather and obsessed with snow. Sometimes he sees things before they happen-a man carrying a hatbox will be hit by a bus; Winkler will fall in love with a woman in a supermarket. When David dreams that his infant daughter will drown in a flood as he tries to save her, he comes undone. He travels thousands of miles, fleeing family, home, and the future itself, to deny the dream. On a Caribbean island, destitute, alone, and unsure if his child has survived or his wife can forgive him, David is sheltered by a couple with a daughter of their own. Ultimately it is she who will pull him back into the world, to search for the people he left behind. Doerr's characters are full of grief and longing, but also replete with grace. His compassion for human frailty is extraordinarily moving. In luminous prose, he writes about the power and beauty of nature and about the tiny miracles that transform our lives. About Grace is heartbreaking, radiant, and astonishingly accomplished. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Separation (Psychology) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Fathers and daughters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Runaway husbands $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Precognition $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Dreams $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Caribbean Area $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Alaska $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Newbern, George, $d 1964- $e narrator. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/11752496 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/sas_9781442394216_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20171128013709.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1C18622ED40A11E797AD6B4797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
