English Summary/英文概要： T. Greenwood’s new novel is a powerful, haunting tale of enduring love, destructive secrets, and opportunities that arrive in disguise . . .
In Two Rivers, Vermont, Harper Montgomery is living a life overshadowed by grief and guilt. Since the death of his wife, Betsy, twelve years earlier, Harper has narrowed his world to working at the local railroad and raising his daughter, Shelly, the best way he knows how. Still wracked with sorrow over the loss of his life-long love and plagued by his role in a brutal, long-ago crime, he wants only to make amends for his past mistakes.
Then one fall day, a train derails in Two Rivers, and amid the wreckage Harper finds an unexpected chance at atonement. One of the survivors, a pregnant fifteen-year-old girl with mismatched eyes and skin the color of blackberries, needs a place to stay. Though filled with misgivings, Harper offers to take Maggie in. But it isn’t long before he begins to suspect that Maggie’s appearance in Two Rivers is not the simple case of happenstance it first appeared to be.

《雙河鎮》故事中居住在佛蒙特州的Harper Montgomery （哈珀•蒙哥馬利）一直生活在悲痛和愧疚之中。自從他的妻子Betsy（貝蒂）在十二年前去世之後，哈珀全心投入到他在本地鐵路局的工作當中，並盡其所能地撫養他的女兒Shelly（雪麗）。相愛多年的妻子的死亡，使他依舊備受痛苦的折磨，而多年前他在某次慘無人道的罪案中所扮演的角色，更是時時刻刻折磨著他。他想要為過去的錯誤贖罪。
然後，在某個秋日，有一列火車在雙河鎮出軌傾覆；哈珀在狼藉的殘骸之中意外地獲得了一個贖罪的機會。有位倖存者是個懷孕的十五歲女孩，她長者一對奇怪的眼睛，皮膚黝黑，需要一個容身之所。哈珀雖然不無疑慮，但還是讓這個叫做瑪姬的女孩走進了家門。可是不久之後，他便開始懷疑，瑪姬在雙河鎮的出現絕非像起初看來那麼偶然……

"Two Rivers is a convergence of tales, a reminder that the past never washes away, and yet, in T. Greenwood’s delicate handling of time gone and time to come, love and forgiveness wait on the other side of what life does to us and what we do to it. This novel is a sensitive and suspenseful portrayal of family and the ties that bind." ---Lee Martin, author of The Bright Forever and River of Heaven
