## About this book

One Week in December is a poignant work of general fiction that explores the complexities of family life and long-held secrets. Set in a rambling Maine farmhouse during the week before Christmas, the story follows Becca Rowan as she returns home from Boston. Becca intends to reveal a life-changing truth to sixteen year old Rain, the daughter she gave up as a teenager and who was subsequently raised by Becca's brother.

This literary fiction novel examines the emotional fallout of Becca's decision as it triggers buried resentments among her siblings and parents. While navigating these tense family dynamics, Becca develops an unexpected friendship with a neighbor named Alex. Through this relationship, the narrative delves into themes of adoption and the courage required to face past choices, making One Week in December a compelling study of love and reconciliation.
