Winter Garden (Hardcover)

Description:

Kristin Hannah tugs at the heartstrings with this poignant portrait of two grown sisters who attempt to bond with their distant mother after their father`s death. Meredith and Nina Whitson`s lives took them in opposite directions, but they reunite to be by their beloved father`s side during his final hours. His dying wish is for them to take care of their mother, a Russian immigrant named Anya, though she makes it very apparent that she has no interest in their care or pity. As Meredith and Nina try to solve the puzzle of their mother`s lifelong detachment, they realize that the answers they seek may be hidden in a Russian fairy tale Anya used to tell them. As the details of Anya`s harrowing childhood in Stalinist Russia emerge, the girls realize that they must resolve their own petty differences in order to help their mother make peace with the ghosts of the past.
