A miracle pregnancy. A fractured father-daughter bond. A single moment that threatens to unravel everything.
At forty-two, Valerie Sutton has finally found calm after the storm. Reunited with her husband Alex, expecting the baby she thought she’d never have, and leaving behind the chaos of her past, she’s ready to embrace a more hopeful future.
With cautious optimism, Valerie begins collaborating with her father, Victor Sutton—a world-renowned psychiatrist known for helping others—on a long-awaited book about healing after trauma. It’s meant to be their shared redemption story. Around them, Valerie’s mother Esme and the rest of the family begin building the foundation for a new beginning.
For a moment, they can all breathe. They celebrate the holidays. They find joy.
But peace doesn’t come easily in the Sutton family. Beneath Victor’s public persona lies a man still unable to confront the emotional wreckage he helped create. Unspoken pain bubbles back to the surface, pushing Valerie and Victor’s already-tenuous relationship to its limits. As Valerie grapples with the uncertainty of motherhood, Victor must face something he’s never dared to admit: his need for help and the role he’s played in breaking the people he loves.
Then, on a harrowing June night, a violent car crash shatters everything. Valerie’s life—and the life of her unborn child—hang in the balance.
It’s a stirring, emotional novel about the courage it takes to forgive, the strength required to start over, and the unbreakable ties that can survive even the darkest of seasons. For Valerie and Victor, the question isn’t just whether they can heal—but whether they’re brave enough to try.
Dive into book seven of The Sutton Book Club series, which digs into the heart and soul of the Sutton family, the power of truth and love, and the complex nature of human relationships.
