Summary
Summary
Brooke O'Connor—elegant, self-possessed, and kind—has a happy marriage and a deeply loved young daughter. So her adamant refusal to have a second child confounds her husband, Sean. When Brooke's high school boyfriend, Alex—now divorced and mourning the death of his young son—unexpectedly resurfaces, Sean begins to suspect an affair. For fifteen years Brooke has kept a shameful secret from everyone she loves. Only Alex knows the truth that drove them apart. His reappearance now threatens the life she has so carefully constructed and fortified by denial. With her marriage—and her emotional equilibrium—at stake, Brooke must confront what she has been unwilling to face for so long. But the truth is not what Brooke believes it to be.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
A powerful domestic novel. —Kirkus
“The Lost Daughter delivers the goods: flawed but sympathetic characters and a plot that will keep readers turning the pages voraciously.” —Wally Lamb, New York Times bestselling author
“Ferriss’ latest is a deeply emotional book with lyrical writing…a modern story with deep underlayers. The characters, deeply flawed but very human, draw you in. They’re making choices blindly, since they never can see the future clearly, and then they must live with the results as they come.” —RT Book Reviews (Top Pick)
“An emotionally riveting story of reliving mistakes, seeking redemption, and finally facing the consequences of a difficult decision…Lost Daughter manages to be a romantic family novel with a palpable atmosphere of impending calamity.” —Booklist
“An unflinching study of parenthood…convincing, Franzen-style realism…a powerful domestic novel.” —Kirkus Reviews
