Sullen and broken from his experiences with an abusive father, Milo has turned to acting out in violent and rebellious ways. As he struggles to cope with a trait he’s buried since childhood, Aiden falls in love with Gwen, a single mother whose young son bears a burden of his own. He can no longer sleepwalk through life, holding everyone at arm’s length. But the newfound sensitivity of Aiden’s “wake up” has its price. It all comes back in a rush during a hunting trip, when he’s suddenly attuned to the animals around him, feeling their pain and fear as if it were his own. Something has been asleep in forty-year-old cattle rancher Aiden Delacorte for a long time. From New York Times bestselling author Catherine Ryan Hyde comes a hauntingly emotional novel of how one man’s life changes forever when he rediscovers his ability to feel the pain of others.
