From the New York Times bestselling author of Belong to Me,
Love Walked In, and Falling Together comes a captivating
novel about friendship, family, second chances, and the
redemptive power of love.
In all her life, Eustacia “Taisy” Cleary has given her heart
to only three men: her first love, Ben Ransom; her twin
brother, Marcus; and Wilson Cleary—professor, inventor,
philanderer, self-made millionaire, brilliant man,
breathtaking jerk: her father.
Seventeen years ago, Wilson ditched his first family for
Caroline, a beautiful young sculptor. In all that time,
Taisy’s family has seen Wilson, Caroline, and their
daughter, Willow, only once.
Why then, is Wilson calling Taisy now, inviting her for an
extended visit, encouraging her to meet her pretty sister—a
teenager who views her with jealousy, mistrust, and grudging
admiration? Why, now, does Wilson want Taisy to help him
write his memoir?
Told in alternating voices—Taisy’s strong, unsparing
observations and Willow’s naive, heartbreakingly earnest
yearnings—The Precious One is an unforgettable novel of
family secrets, lost love, and dangerous obsession, a
captivating tale with the deep characterization, piercing
emotional resonance, and heartfelt insight that are the
hallmarks of Marisa de los Santos’s beloved works.
