From the Inside Flap:

It only takes a moment for a life to change forever.
Ethan Denton is a lucky man. Lately things have gone his way-like being granted custody of Nate, his three-year-old son. But when he takes the child up to Angels Crest early one morning to show him the mountains, Ethan's luck changes instantaneously. In an impulsive decision any parent might make, he leaves his son asleep in the back seat while he follows a pair of magnificent buck, just for a minute-but when he returns the truck's door is open, the child is gone, and snow is falling . . .
As townspeople gather to aid in the search, the boy's disappearance resurrects old wounds and regrets for each of them. But it also provides the chance for love and redemption, as they struggle to make sense of the inexplicable.
