Product details
David Winkler grew up in Anchorage, Alaska, a quiet boy with a fondness for snow and the beauty of ice crystals. Sometimes he can see events before they happen - a man with a hatbox will be hit by a bus, he will fall in love with a woman in a supermarket. When David dreams of his newborn daughter dying in a flood while he tries to save her, he flees in panic from Cleveland, where the family now lives. Can he change the course of events in this way? Penniless, alone and without any certainty that his daughter will survive - the Ohio has actually overflowed its banks in Cleveland - Winkler lives on a Caribbean island with a couple and a daughter who take care of him. After all, it is the daughter who brings him back into the world to search for the people he left behind. 25 J.
