The Favorite Daughter

In this emotionally resonant novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Bookshop at Water’s End, Lena Donohue returns to the small town of Watersend, South Carolina, after a decade away, compelled by her father's declining health. As a freelance travel writer, she has avoided her hometown and the sister she hasn't spoken to since a wedding-day betrayal. Reunited with her brother at the family pub, the siblings grapple with their father's fading memories due to Alzheimer's, as they work to preserve his life through stories and photographs. This journey not only reconnects Lena with her family but also illuminates the deeper meanings of memory, family, and forgiveness.
