New York Times bestselling author Caroline Leavitt returns with a tantalizing, courageous story about mothers and daughters, guilt and innocence, and the lengths we go for love.
As a teenager, for a moment, Ella Fitchburg found loveâyearning, breathless loveâthat consumed both her and her boyfriend, Jude, as they wandered the streets of New York City together. But her glorious life was pulled out from beneath her after she was accused of trying to murder Judeâs father, an imperious superior court judge. When she learns sheâs pregnant shortly after receiving a long prison sentence, she reluctantly decides to give up the child.
Ella is released from prison after serving only six years and is desperate to turn the page on a new life, but she canât seem to let go of her past. With only an address as a possible lead, she moves to Ann Arbor, Michigan, determined to get her daughter back. Hiding her identity and living in a constant state of deception, she finds that what sheâs been searching for all along is a way to uncoverâand live withâthe truth. Yet a central mystery endures: neither Jude nor Ella can remember the events leading up to the attempted murderâthat fateful night which led to Ellaâs conviction.
For fans of Miranda Cowley Hellerâs The Paper Palace and Allegra Goodmanâs Sam, Caroline Leavittâs Days of Wonder is a gripping high-drama page-turner about the elusive nature of redemption and the profound reach of love.
