Infertility put her dearest wish out of reach. Now, at 55, she has a newborn and unexpected fame. How can she possibly cope with the demands of both?
Hannah Murrow finally has what she's always wanted. The shocking late-in-life pregnancy that turned her into unlikely social media star "St. Hannah" has culminated in the joyous birth of little Grace. But now, fretting over Grace's wellbeing, Hannah is reluctant to use the baby to promote the brand that was the brainchild of her adopted daughter, Natasha, jeopardizing the delicate relationship the two have only recently rebuilt.
Frustrated by Hannah's ambivalence about the business that she considers her life's only success, Natasha accepts a surprising invitation to meet her Russian birth mother, Lubov Solovyova. While Natasha is excited to fill in this missing piece of her past, Hannah feels abandoned, struggling to appear supportive despite her hurt, jealousy, and suspicion of Lubov's motives.
How can Hannah balance the needs of a longed-for infant and a beloved adult daughter-while contending with the arrival of another mother figure who threatens to come between them?
Hannah and Her Daughters is the long-awaited sequel to The Book of Hannah: A Tragicomedy in Three Trimesters. Ideal for fans of Anne Tyler, it's entertaining women's fiction that's filled with warmth, humanity, and truths about the bonds between mothers and daughters.
