Custody Novel

In a riveting novel by New York Times bestselling author Nancy Thayer, a woman's past secret resurfaces and forever alters her life. Kelly MacLeod, ambitious, brilliant, and engaged to a wonderful man, is thrilled when she becomes a judge in the Massachusetts Family Court, allowing her to use her fierce intellect to advocate for children of divorce.

However, everything changes when she meets Randall Madison, a charismatic doctor embroiled in a custody battle with his soon-to-be ex-wife. Their passionate affair leads Kelly to realize that a secret connects her to Randall's case, forcing her to confront a difficult decision between her morals and her desires.

This novel also features an excerpt from Nancy Thayer's book, "Nantucket Sisters." Readers and critics alike have praised Thayer's work, with The Star-Ledger calling her "the queen of beach books" and Elin Hilderbrand commending her deep understanding of love and friendship.

Thayer's ability to capture the emotional depth of her characters has been described as captivating by the Houston Chronicle, and Susan Wiggs has named her as one of her favorite authors. The Miami Herald praises Thayer for her depiction of how small moments, personal stories, and shared histories shape families, while Dorothea Benton Frank compares her descriptive prose to the delicate intricacy of lace tatting done by her grandmother.
