How much would you sacrifice to save
someone you love?
When Olivia, wild-haired and headstrong,
makes a terrible mistake, she must turn to
the person least likely to help--her mother,
Elaine. Motherhood was a role that Elaine
never embraced and her best never
amounted to much. But now Olivia faces
prosecution for a naive connection to a
drug deal and she needs Elaine more than
ever. As the days count down and Olivia's
future hangs in the balance, Elaine must
decide just how much she is willing to give
for a second chance with her daughter.
With Daughter's Keeper, Ayelet Waldman has
crafted a redemptive journey at once highly
emotional and unbearably suspenseful, as
Olivia and Elaine's struggle builds to a
beautiful, heart-wrenching climax. In this
luminous, gripping novel, Waldman brings
to life the tensions and the tenderness that
forge the unshakeable bond between parent
and child. Daughter's Keeper reveals the
unlimited boundaries of forgiveness and
the sacrifices we make for love.
