The Precious One

Eustacia "Taisy" Cleary has loved only three men: her high school boyfriend, Ben; her twin brother, Marcus; and Wilson Cleary, her father. Seventeen years ago, Wilson ditched his first family for Caroline, an ethereal young sculptor. In all that time, Taisy has seen Wilson, Caro, and their daughter, Willow, only once. So why now, two weeks after suffering a catastrophic heart attack, is Wilson summoning Taisy to his house—in the town she thought she'd left behind forever? Taisy discovers that going home won't be easy. Wilson is as chilly and imperious as ever. And then there is Ben. Taisy hopes for a reconnection, even as she fears that time and the fallout from their bitter separation have made this impossible. And her little sister is going through difficult changes of her own. For the first time, sixteen-year-old Willow has been thrown into high school, a bewildering world. Falling Together is a captivating novel about friendship, family secrets, second chances, dangerous obsession, and the redemptive power of love.
