Willy and Marianne lose a child and decide to move to Maine. Willy finds a lonesome bridle path near their new home and daydreams of a child that was not meant to be. He is loaned a old baby stroller from years past to carry groceries home in one day. While using the stroller he daydreams of the baby lost. Is that crying coming from the stroller? Or cooing? This can not be, can it? This book was a bit scary and a good short story into the mind of Joe Hill. I learned that Joe Hill is Stephen King's son and have wanted to try one of his books ever since. This book did not disappoint!
