One Week in December

ebook

In this compelling novel from bestselling author Holly Chamberlin, a family reunited for the holidays explores the price of secrets, the power of regret, and the choices that can change everything. . .

The Rowans' rambling Maine farmhouse is just big enough to contain the family members gathered there in the week before Christmas. Becca Rowan has driven from Boston with one thought in mind—reclaiming the daughter she gave up when she was a frightened teenager. Raised by Becca's older brother and his wife, Rain Rowan, now sixteen, has no idea she was adopted. And though Becca agreed not to reveal the truth until Rain turned twenty-one, lately that promise counts for little in the face of her longing.

Becca anticipates shock at her announcement, but she's unprepared for the depth of her family's anger, fear, and concern. And as the Rowans' neighbor, Alex, draws her deeper into an unexpected friendship, Becca begins to challenge her own preconceptions about family, love, and the courage needed to live with—and sometimes change—the decisions we make. . .

"An honest, forceful novel about love, family, and sacrifice." —Booklist
