Summary
Irina Rozanova survives her suicide attempt and declares it an act of God. She spends the next five years nurturing her youngest son’s burgeoning hockey career, believing her divine calling is to keep Ilya safe, steady, and pious as he ascends to stardom.
Ilya Rozanov is a global phenomenon. In the month since his 18th birthday, he’s the first overall NHL draft pick, has more money in his bank account than he knows what to do with, and lives in a Boston townhouse with his mother that he paid for in cash. But a storm inside him is brewing that he keeps trying to push down, down where he safekeeps his desires and his fears and his shame. There is a boy he keeps finding himself drawn to, unable to forget, and every stolen moment of tenderness between them threatens to give way to something cavernous, something Ilya knows he isn’t supposed to want.
Irina has vowed to protect her son from the demons that plague her and to provide him a devout, loving home to grow into himself without fear. But as Ilya beelines down a path she cannot follow, a path that challenges her faith and terrifies them both, she must at last ask herself: Why was she given this second chance to live?
