An emotional exploration of the frayed bond between a father and daughter…and what it takes to mend it.
After Sara’s father, famous sculptor Thomas “TR” Harlow, is badly injured in a fire, she’s suddenly forced to care for a man who is more of a stranger than a parent. Once known as his muse, Sara long ago lost her father to his desire to live the celebrity life.
Now TR’s abrasive and unpredictable presence in her home is reopening old wounds—and causing the rift in her already-strained marriage to deepen. As her young son begins bonding with the grandfather he never knew, Sara must decide if she can find it within herself to forgive the man who broke her heart all those years ago. Will she walk away from a chance to rebuild what was lost, or will she find, by bringing her father back to health, that healing can come in many forms?
Sara has a busy family life with her husband and 10-year old son, but her marriage is a struggle and the pressure seems to be growing thanks to her husband’s traveling for work as a pilot and increasing absences. She knows she needs to focus on her marriage, but instead, Sara gets a phone call that changes her life.
Her father, famous sculptor Thomas “TR” Harlow, is badly injured in a fire and in the hospital. He needs to find somewhere to live and someone who will help take care for him so he calls Sara.
Sara hasn’t had any contact with her estranged father since she was a teenager. While taking her father in could help Sara with the pain she has been feeling for years and maybe even get the answers she has always been seeking, the truth is that taking her father in might just destroy her already fragile marriage.
This book was told from Sara and TR’s points of view. Readers see secrets unravel, love rekindle and dreams reappear. The Girl Made of Clay is a great emotional story that reminds readers that it’s never too late to try again when it comes to family relationships.
