Women's Fiction
Twenty-year-old Abigail Turner has only known her mother, Claireโwho died shortly after she was bornโthrough letters, videos, postcards, and journals. Abbyโs father, Josh, has raised his precious daughter himself, but his overprotectiveness has become stifling. Abby longs to forge out on her own and see the world after a childhood trapped indoors: she suffers from bronchopulmonary dysplasia, which means a case of the sniffles can rapidly escalate into life-threatening pneumonia. But when Abbyโs doctor declares her healthyโfor nowโher grandmother Millie whisks her away to Europe to visit the Christmas markets that her mother cherished and chronicled in her travel journals. Despite her fatherโs objections, Abby and Millie embark on a journey of discovery in which Abby will learn secrets that force her to reevaluate her image of her mother and come to a more mature understanding of a parent-child bond that transcends death. New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Steena Holmes offers a tender and heartfelt exploration of parental love and a daughterโs longing for connection in the poignant next chapter following Saving Abby.
