THE MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW "HIGHLY RECOMMENDED"

Peyton’s marriage, motherhood, and artistic legacy are threatened by her brilliant, cruel son who constantly makes her feel like a failure. Hell-bent on winning at all costs, he imperils everything she holds dear. How far will she go to show him love while protecting her family? Years later, Peyton’s life takes a dramatic turn. Amid a tumultuous family dynamic, her two biological children are locked in a bitter rivalry. An old flame resurfaces, offering a different life, but at what cost? She must choose between her children, two men, and two paths.

Her marriage puts her to the test as she and Adler navigate the rocky terrain shaped by their malicious son. While her husband stands as a steadfast mountain, Peyton embodies the ever-changing coast. The narrative artfully weaves sorrow, love, laughter, and the breathtaking beauty of the physical and psychological landscapes they traverse. As Peyton and her husband grapple with their trials, can they journey toward truth and healing, finding solace in their enduring bond?

Set against the stunning scenery of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, and Northern New Mexico, First Sons and Last Daughters dives into the complexities of family, profound loss, and the resilience of the human spirit. A stand-alone or as part of the series.
