From the New York Times bestselling author of Dear Edward comes an emotionally layered and engrossing family story that asks: Can love make a broken person whole? William Waters grew up in a house silenced by tragedy, where his parents could hardly bear to look at him, much less love him--so he\'s relieved when his skill on the basketball court earns him a scholarship to college, far away from his childhood home.
Will the loyalty that once rooted them be strong enough to draw them back together when it matters most? Vibrating with tenderness, Hello Beautiful is a gorgeous, profoundly moving portrait of what\'s possible when we choose to love someone not in spite of who they are, but because of it..
The result is a catastrophic family rift that changes their lives for generations.
But then darkness from William\'s past surfaces, jeopardizing not only Julia\'s carefully orchestrated plans for their future, but the sisters\' unshakeable loyalty to one another.
Happily, the Padavanos fold Julia\'s new boyfriend into their loving, chaotic household.
With Julia comes her family; she is inseparable from her three younger sisters: Sylvie, the dreamer, is happiest with her nose in a book and imagines a future different from the expected path of wife and mother
Cecelia, the family\'s artist; and Emeline, who patiently takes care of all of them.
He soon meets Julia Padavano, a spirited and ambitious young woman who surprises William with her appreciation of his quiet steadiness.
