Publishers Description: In 1912, two fisherman discover a baby's cradle floating on an ice pan in the North Atlantic sea off the coast of Newfoundland. The foundling is adopted into the small fishing community of the Drook; with her white hair and one blue and one brown eye, the little girl is said to be a fairy child.Aurora's strange beginning and odd ways are gradually accepted by the Drook folk. She marries Tom Mulloy, the lighthouse keeper's son who shares her passion for reading and poetry, and raises a family of her own. But the past can never truly be laid to rest and when a strange man comes asking questions about a child who may have been found at sea many years before, Aurora's children begin to wonder about their mother and the mystery surrounding her birth.In a search which crosses the world from the harsh landscape of Newfoundland to the gentler climates of England and Ireland, the heart-wrenching story behind the baby's miraculous survival on the ice is finally revealed.
