Whistler is a moving and luminous story about family, memory, love, loss, and the enduring connections that shape our lives. The novel follows Daphne, who unexpectedly encounters Eddie, her former stepfather, near New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Eddie was married to Daphne’s mother for a short time when Daphne was nine years old. They have not seen each other for many years—not since a life-changing event altered the course of both their lives. Their unexpected reunion brings the past back into focus and reminds them of the profound impact their brief relationship had on each other.

As Daphne and Eddie reconnect, the years between them seem to disappear. Together, they reflect on what happened in the past while also discovering the joys of the present and finding the courage to face the future.
