About the Book

Winter Solstice Hilderbrand's engaging 20th novel accompanies the Quinn family and their loved ones as patriarch Kelley Quinn succumbs to cancer. It has past a long time since the whole Quinn family has been able to celebrate the holidays together, but that's about to change. After he and his first wife, Margaret, divorced, Kelley left his high-paying trader job and departed with their three children from Manhattan to Nantucket. He later wedded Mitzi, with whom he operated the Winter Street Inn and had a fourth son, Bart. As children, Margaret's daughters, Kelley and Ava collided with her stepmother. Now that grown-ups, Ava turns to Mitzi for guidance on how to deal with her boyfriend's difficult son. Meantime, after Mitzi and Kelley's Marine son, Bart, went missing as a POW in Afghanistan for two years, he retires home with PTSD. His parents find hope in 22-year-old Bart's romantic interest in 19-year-old Allegra Pancik. Innkeeper Kelley, the patriarch of the Quinn family, is in hospice, dying of brain cancer. Now with Bart back safe and sound from Afghanistan, the Quinns are equipping for the more joyful holiday in years. And Bart's secure return isn't the family's only great news, Kevin is happily married to Isabelle; Patrick is getting back from jail, Kelley's oldest son, is struggling to grow a hedge fund after serving time for insider trading. Ava thinks she's finally encountered the love of her life, and Kelly is excited to see his family reunited at last. But as expected it is not a Quinn family gathering if everything went smoothly. A celebration of everything we love and some of the things we endure about the holidays. Bart's discredited decorator sister-in-law, Jennifer overcame a pill addiction, abandons a high-paying client after he proposes her sexually, but her family's uncertain financial situation requires her to find another source of income fast. Due to their problematic finances, wife Jennifer of Patrick, hesitate to tell him she lost the large account due to a banker client's sexual harassment. The family attempts to navigate their issues as Kelley's circumstances worsen, and the family must find the solution in this time of need. This novel is the fourth story in Hilderbrand's Christmas category about a family-run Nantucket inn. Characters from Hilderbrand's modern summer novel, The Rumor (2015), make an appearance: exposed realtor Eddie Pancik, now out of jail, Grace, his wife, and her former lover, master landscaper Benton Coe, back from Detroit. Kelley's ex-wife, the anchorwoman Margaret, is lamenting, with near-retirement hindsight, that she conceded his second wife, Mitzi, to foster their three children, Patrick, Kevin, and Ava. The new love is working out well for Ava until a visit from her boyfriend Potter's son, PJ who's very bratty threatens to upend everything. Kelley worries about what will happen to Mitzi after he's gone; her only family is their only child, Bart, a former Marine who has PTSD after two years of imprisonment in Afghanistan. Mitzi is planning to list the inn for sale with Eddie, and assessing it for how well Nantucket real estate has come back from the crash, it promises to replenish the depleted coffers of both. Hilderbrand has put her brilliant and at times profound stamp on the Christmas genre. In this latest outing, however, the newest crises evaporate too soon: Love, at first sight, eases Bart's trauma, Jennifer spins addiction waste into reality TV gold, some FaceTime tames PJ, etc. Conceivably these neatly tied-up plotlines are appropriate at series' end-except that the ambiguous close suggests the termination may not be so near after all.
