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.
