CHRISTMAS IN SILVERWOOD EXCERPT

She wasn’t sure how long she’d been staring at the tree when she felt a breath on her neck. She turned her head slightly to find Nick behind her. He’d leaned closer and whispered, “That feeling you must be experiencing right now? That look on your face? That’s not someone who doesn’t want to celebrate Christmas.”

She turned to him, attempting to push down her emotions. “The tree looks great. And congratulations on being the one to light it. What an honor.”

“Thank you,” he said with a nod. “I was hoping you’d get swept up in the crowd’s

merriment.”

“I definitely am.”

He narrowed his eyes. “I know you’ve been struggling with inspiration, so …” He glanced around and then focused on her again. “I have an idea.”

“What is it?” she asked.

“Lucy,” he said, turning to Lucy while a playful grin appeared. “If you don’t mind, I was wondering if I could steal Holly away for the rest of the evening.”

“Sure! I don’t mind. Sean’s coming to meet me after work.” Lucy leaned closer to Holly. “You better call me tomorrow and fill me in on the whatever this turns out to be.”

Holly could barely answer her before Nick took her hand.

“I’d like to show you something,” he said.

“Oh.” She was very aware of her heartbeat as it quickened at the touch of his hand. “All right.”

With his hand secure around hers, he gestured with a jerk of his head for her to follow.

Holly quickly looked back at Lucy, who smiled and winked at her.

“Where are we going?” Holly asked once they were in a less dense part of the crowd.

“Just someplace I go for inspiration. I figured it was worth a shot to show it to you.”

“Okay.”

Cupid followed them through the crowd to Nick’s SUV.

“Oh,” Holly said. “This is your car?”

“Did you think I lumbered all around town in my big truck?”

“I guess I hadn’t really thought about it. The truck is the only thing I’ve seen you drive.”

He nodded as he opened the passenger-side door for her. “Fair enough.”

She climbed into the car and heard the back open. A glance over her shoulder showed her that Cupid was happy to be in the back. She fought the urge to wring her hands as her senses heightened.

Nick slid into the driver’s seat and smiled at her. “I’m not kidnapping you, in case you’re worried.”

“Said the kidnapper to throw off his victims.” She let out a nervous laugh.

“I promise you’re in good hands.”

In the wake of sudden tragedy, twin sisters uncover a secret that rips open their world. Katherine Rothschild explores the pain and power of forgiveness in a stunning debut novel that will shatter your heart and piece it back together, one truth at a time.

Sixteen-year-old Sabine Braxton doesn’t have much in common with her identical twin, Blythe. When their father dies from an unexpected illness, each copes with the loss in her own way—Sabine by “poeting” (an uncontrollable quirk of bursting into poetry at inappropriate moments) and Blythe by obsessing over getting into MIT, their father’s alma mater. Neither can offer each other much support . . . at least not until their emotionally detached mother moves them into a ramshackle Bay Area mansion owned by a stranger named Charlie.

Soon, the sisters unite in a mission to figure out who Charlie is and why he seems to know everything about them. They quickly make a life-changing discovery: their father died of an HIV- related infection, Charlie was his lover, and their mother knows the whole story. The revelation unravels Sabine’s world, while practical Blythe seems to take everything in stride. Once again at odds with her sister, Sabine chooses to learn all she can about the father she never knew. Ultimately, she must decide if she can embrace his last wish for their family legacy—along with forgiveness.

Praise for Wider than the Sky

“Sabine’s struggle to reconcile her memory of her father with the man he really was—and to make room in her life for his hopes as well as her own—cuts to the heart of what it means to love someone unconditionally. Wider than the Sky skillfully weaves multiple character arcs together to examine the ideas of home, hope, and family in surprising new ways.”—Misa Sugiura, It’s Not Like It’s a Secret

“Lyrical and lovely, Wider than the Sky is one of those rare books that has everything—masterful storytelling, a great love story, important themes, razor-sharp wit, and memorable characters. It’s a gorgeous debut that will capture your heart.”—Corina Vacco, Delacorte Prize–winning author of My Chemical Mountain
 
“I haven’t stopped thinking about these sisters since I first read Wider than the Sky. Sabine and Blythe will leap off the page and live in your memories like old friends. There is so much heart and humor in Katherine’s writing; even as her characters grapple with serious concerns and issues, she captures how life can slice us open and yet give us the ability to laugh and love and hope through the deepest pain and loss.”—Jennifer Chambliss Bertman, New York Times bestselling author of Book Scavenger

“Rothschild’s story showcases how secrets impede a person’s ability to see the world clearly and that self-acceptance and honesty are the keys to a happy ending.”—School Library Journal

“Change comes suddenly to the lives of 16-year-old Sabine and her identical twin sister, Blythe, when their father dies unexpectedly, prompting their mother and a strange man named Charlie to move the girls to the small town of Thornewood . . . Rothschild’s first novel is accomplished and nicely plot-rich with some interesting quirks, chief among them being Sabine’s deep-rooted love for Emily Dickinson’s poetry and her compulsive need to recite it.”—Booklist

“Kath Rothschild’s Wider than the Sky is pitch perfect! Young adult readers will fall in love with her wonderfully quirky narrator Sabine and her swoony romance with Kai. Combine that with family secrets and a mysterious stranger and you have the ingredients for a compelling read. I cannot wait to put it in the hands of my young customers!”—Kathleen Caldwell, A Great Good Place for Books (Oakland, CA)
