Description
Eustacia "Taisy" Cleary's life has been marked by three defining relationships: her first love Ben Ransom, her twin brother Marcus, and her father Wilson. Seventeen years ago, Wilson left his family for Caroline, a sculptor, and Taisy's family saw him only once since then. Now, Wilson is calling Taisy, inviting her to meet her teenage sister Willow, who views her with jealousy and mistrust. He wants Taisy to help him write his memoir. This novel tells the story of family secrets, lost love, and obsession through alternating voices - Taisy's strong observations and Willow's naive yet heartbreakingly earnest yearnings. The Precious One is a captivating tale with deep characterization and emotional resonance, characteristic of Marisa de los Santos's writing style. A complex exploration of family dynamics, second chances, and the power of love, this novel will appeal to readers who enjoy character-driven fiction and stories about relationships.
