Women's Fiction
A bright June day. A split-second distraction. A family
forever changed. Life is good for Maura Corrigan. Married to her college
sweetheart, Pete, raising three young kids with her parents
nearby in her peaceful Chicago suburb, her world is secure.
Then one day, in a single turn of fate, that entire world
comes crashing down and everything that she thought she knew
changes. Maura must learn to move forward with the weight of grief
and the crushing guilt of an unforgivable secret. Pete
senses a gap growing between him and his wife but finds it
easier to escape to the bar with his friends than face the
flaws in his marriage. Meanwhile, Maura's parents are dealing with the fault lines
in their own marriage. Charismatic Roger, who at sixty-five,
is still chasing the next business deal and Margaret, a
pragmatic and proud homemaker, have been married for four
decades, seemingly happily. But the truth is more
complicated. Like Maura, Roger has secrets of his own and
when his deceptions and weaknesses are exposed, Margaret's
love and loyalty face the ultimate test. Those We Love Most chronicles how these unforgettable
characters confront their choices, examine their mistakes,
fight for their most valuable relationships, and ultimately
find their way back to each other. It takes us deep into the
heart of what makes families and marriages tick and explores
a fundamental question: when the ties that bind us to those
we love are strained or broken, how do we pick up the
pieces? Deeply penetrating and brimming with emotional insight, this
engrossing family drama heralds the arrival of a major new
voice in contemporary fiction.
