Publisher Description
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 this year’s trip leads to 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 requires 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.
Customer Reviews
Easy read
A great audiobook - fun to listen to, amusing, a bit sad, exciting - great entertainment! Sometimes it was a bit hard to follow because there are so manch characters in this book. Well done!
Stunningly Lame
The only way this book gets more than one-star is the publisher has forced every employee to rate it higher. Such a disappointment
