Darling Girl: A Novel of Peter Pan
A Book of The Month Club pick In this beautiful dive into the world of J. M. Barrie's classic, one woman must take on the infamous Peter Pan--who is not the innocent adventurer the fairy tales make him out to be--to save her daughter's life. . . .
Life is looking up for Holly Darling, granddaughter of Wendy--yes, that Wendy. That is, until she gets a call that her daughter, Eden, who has been in a coma for nearly a decade, has gone missing from the estate where she's been long tucked away. And, worst of all, Holly knows who must be responsible: Peter Pan, who is not only very real, but very dangerous. Holly is desperate to find Eden and protect her son, Jack, from a terrible web of family secrets before she loses both her children. And yet she has no one to turn to--her mother, Jane, is the only other person in the world who knows that Peter is more than a story, but she refuses to accept that he is not the hero she's always imagined. Darling Girl brings all the magic of the classic Peter Pan story to the present, while also exploring the dark underpinnings of fairy tales, grief, aging, sacrifice, motherhood, and just how far we will go to protect those we love.
