Summary

"Dzhinni Karter kogda-to byla uspeshnym telereporterom, i schastlivo zhila s muzhem, populi?a︡rnym vedushchim novosteĭ, i mali?u︡tkoĭ synom v bolʹshom dome v Beverli-Khillz. No avtomobilʹnai?a︡ avarii?a︡, sluchivshai?a︡si?a︡ nakanune Rozhdestva, perecherknula vse. Vyzhila tolʹko Dzhinni. Snedaemai?a︡ gorechʹi?u︡ viny, ona brosila prestizhnui?u︡ rabotu, vstupila v pravozashchitnui?u︡ organizat?s︡ii?u︡. Otnyne v raznykh gori?a︡chikh tochkakh zemnogo shara ona soznatelʹno ishchet opasnosti, vtaĭne nadei?a︡sʹ poĭmatʹ shalʹnui?u︡ puli?u︡. Vse meni?a︡etsi?a︡ v tretʹi?u︡ godovshchinu katastrofy: na kholodnoĭ mostovoĭ Dzhinni vstrechaet bezdomnogo podrostka s pronzitelʹnymi golubymi glazami. Blu Uilʹi?a︡ms sirota i uzhe mnogo let zhivet na ulit?s︡e, prii?u︡ty s ikh pravilami i raspisaniem ne podkhodi?a︡t ego volʹnomu nravu. Dzhinni, ne umei?u︡shchai?a︡ prokhoditʹ mimo chuzhoĭ bedy, reshaet nakormitʹ uzhinom neschastnogo malʹchika. Tak zarozhdaetsi?a︡ ikh druzhba, kotorai?a︡ izmenit zhiznʹ oboikh, podariv vtoroĭ shans na schastʹe."--Ginny Carter was once a rising star in TV news, married to a top anchorman, with a three-year-old son and a full and happy life in Beverly Hills-until her whole world dissolved in a single instant on the freeway two days before Christmas. In the aftermath, she pieces her life back together and tries to find meaning in her existence as a human rights worker in the worst areas around the globe. Then, on the anniversary of the fateful accident-and wrestling with the lure of death herself-she meets a boy who will cause her life to change forever yet again. Thirteen-year-old Blue Williams has been living on the streets, abandoned by his family, rarely attending school, and utterly alone. Following her instincts, Ginny reaches out to him. Leery of everyone, he runs from her again and again. But he always returns, and each time, their friendship grows. Blue glows with outsized spirit and an irresistible mix of innocence and wisdom beyond his years. Ginny offers him respect as they form an unusual bond and become the family they each lost. But just as Blue is truly beginning to trust her, she learns of a shocking betrayal that he has been hiding. Is it a wound too deep to heal, or will she be able to fight the battle that will make them both whole again?
