The Favorite Daughter

“Patti Callahan Henry is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Her latest is a story of reflection, forgiveness, and surprising twists.”

—#1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber

“Both heartfelt and heartbreakingly honest in its portrayal of a family once divided by scandal and brought together through the power of memories. Colleen and her sister Hallie argue, laugh, and grieve together as they join forces with their brother, Shane, to help their father confront the tangled traps of Alzheimer’s disease. Patti doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities of the disease, yet brilliantly captures the tender moments. Set in the lush Lowcountry, the book is a little bit Southern and a little bit Irish with a pub so richly detailed you’ll feel you’re sitting at the bar listening to songs with the characters.”

—Mary Alice Monroe, New York Times bestselling author of The Summer Guests

“Patti Callahan Henry returns us to the sultry South Carolina Lowcountry where two sisters, the betrayer and the betrayed, must find a way to mend a family torn apart by long-hidden secrets. In exquisitely wrought prose, Patti Callahan Henry lyrically examines the meaning of forgiveness and the inexorable tug of home.”

—Mary Kay Andrews, New York Times bestselling author of The High Tide Club

“A layered, spellbinding novel about families and lovers and the meaning of home. Above all, it’s about memory, how it shapes us, fools us, and warms our hearts. This is one truly beautiful book.”

—Nancy Thayer, New York Times bestselling author of A Nantucket Wedding
