HELLO BEAUTIFUL - ANN NAPOLITANO KARTONIERT (TB)

From the New York Times bestselling author of Dear Edward comes a beautifully tender 
heartbreaking  and moving story of four sisters over three decades Meet the Padvano girls. Best
friends and sisters  they are thought of as inseparable by everyone in their close-knit Chicago
neighbourhood. Julia  the eldest  is the rocket of the family - she always has a destination in
mind and clear plans for how to get there. Sylvie  the dreamer  is happiest with her nose in a
book and imagines a life for herself other than the expected path of wife and mother. Cecelia
and Emmeline  the twins  are the artist and the caregiver. From childhood  the four sisters
complete each other  expecting that their family will always be intact. When Julia falls in
love with William Walters  a history student and college sports star  she's delighted by the
way her plans for adulthood are coming together. A husband  a house  a family. But when
darkness from William's past begins to block the light of his future  it is Sylvie  not Julia 
who steps in to help. Suddenly  things shift. Dynamics and relationships  priorities and
secrets - everything that was once a given no longer is. Rich and vivid  heartbreaking and
heart-mending  Hello Beautiful captures the joy  tragedy  trust  and betrayal to ask: what does
it mean to be a family? And once shattered  can it be pieced back together? ***Praise for Dear
