What this book is about
A child's remains are discovered in Colleton County, and the investigation takes Judge Deborah Knott deep into a decades-old mystery about a child who vanished and was forgotten. Winter's Child is one of the most emotionally affecting entries in the Deborah Knott series — a quiet, grave novel about what it means to be forgotten.
