Born and raised at Four Corners, their parents' thoroughbred horse farm in Kentucky, Charlotte and Knox grew up steeped in the rhythms of foaling season - the revolution of life and growth that transformed generations of foals into yearlings every January. Knox and Charlotte are as tightly connected - and as mysterious to each other - as two sisters ever were. When Charlotte leaves Four Corners Farm, and marries Bruce, moving to Manhattan's West Village, their lives remain powerfully entwined. But nothing will solder their lives more deeply than Charlotte's pregnancy, and the fateful day on which she delivers two twin boys, and then dies in childbirth.
