I received this book in Arcs Around the Library and an abundantly glad I did. Hilary Blum is an untenable, but not uncommon, position. She has just lost her job (through no fault of her own), her deadbeat husband is way behind in child support yet lives in a mansion and drives a luxury car, and her special needs Asperger's son is in danger of losing his spot at a school that has done wonders for him. While driving along a suburban back road, she witnesses a deer/texting related accident. An elderly man's car careens down a hill and smashes into a tree killing the driver. When Hilary arrives at the car trying to help the man, she discovers a satchel full of money (one half million dollars). The man is dead. She need money. She grabs the case and launches it into the woods, an instantaneous decision that radically alters her life and several others. This is an excellent read that
ends realistically and provides informative information on the effects of Hurricane Sandy.
