NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - In this heartwarming novel from #1 New
York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel, adult siblings find their
way back home--and back to each other--after loss.
Preston and Constance Whittier have built a happy life together, with a
brood of six children raised in a beautiful historic Manhattan mansion.
Now, with a nearly empty nest, it's easier than ever for the Whittiers
to maintain their tradition of a solo romantic "Wintermoon" ski trip.
But with this year's trip comes tragedy, and suddenly the Whittiers'
adult children find themselves reuniting in the family home without
their parents for the first time ever. The oldest, Lyle, is reaching a
breaking point in his marriage and must decide whether a divorce would
be best for him and his two children. Gloria's big job on Wall Street
has kept her single at thirty-nine, and growing ever more cynical. The
twins, Caroline and Charlie, moved out long ago to start a fashion
business that may now be faltering. Benjie, with special needs, is hit
hard by the loss of his parents and needs his siblings' help. And
Annabelle, the youngest, drops out of college and starts to spin out of
control.
The eldest four are forced to put aside their personal issues and their
grief to keep the family together and support each other and their two
youngest siblings. Selling the house, along with all the memories that
live in its walls, feels like yet another devastating loss. Could there
be another way, as unconventional as it seems?
In The Whittiers, Danielle Steel delivers an inspiring story about the
everlasting bonds of one unforgettable family.
