When everything else seems lost, watch out for the unexpected ties that bind us together../ In a snow-covered village in Chechnya, eight-year-old Havaa watches from the woods as her father is abducted in the middle of the night by Russian soldiers. Their life-long friend and neighbour, Akhmed, has also been watching, and when he finds Havaa he knows of only one person who might be able to help. For tough-minded, fiercely talented doctor Sonja Rabina, it's just another day of trying to keep her bombed-out, abandoned hospital going u the maternity ward and Aandamp;E, at least. When Akhmed arrives with Havaa, asking Sonja to shelter her from the Feds, she has no idea who the pair are and even less desire to take on yet more responsibilities and risk. But over the course of five extraordinary days, Sonja's world will shift on its axis, revealing the intricate pattern of connections that binds these three unlikely companions together and unexpectedly decides their fate.
