As she withdraws, only two people offer comfort: Dooley Sullivan, a prankster, and Silas Chance, an Indian who works at the lumberyard, and the Moon family's new tenant. Silas dies violently, the victim of a hit-and-run. And at the site there is evidence the driver stopped but did not help. In such a small town with the usual racial prejudices, the case is never solved. But years later, on the evening of her marriage, Frances remembers who the driver was.","brand":"Tantor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47115520180464,"sku":"2940170493814","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170493814_p0.jpg?v=1763710765","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170493814","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
