Now, after a long illness, Paul has slipped away peacefully in his sleep, and his family has gathered together to read his will. And with no strong role model to guide him, Paul’s son has gone from one failure to another, even while his stepmother makes excuses for him, as he seethes with jealousy of his younger sisters. While they love their mostly absent, glamorous father, he has left them with a legacy of impermanence and uncertainty in their own relationships with men. Raised by their mother with all the care and resolve their father lacked, the three Parker sisters have become vibrant, self-reliant young women: Timmie, the oldest, a fiercely dedicated social worker in New York sweet, nurturing Juliette, proprietor of a fledgling bakery in Brooklyn and their younger sister, Joy, who is struggling to build an acting career in Los Angeles. But as irresponsible as he was irresistible, he ultimately shrugged off the demands of marriage and parenting to pursue life as an international bon vivant. In two marriages, he fathered a challenging son and three very different daughters. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Handsome, widowed, sophisticated, utterly charming, Paul Parker won the heart of a wealthy young Frenchwoman-the daughter of an American financier, the granddaughter of a major French art dealer-as his second wife.
