About this book
When Daphne Fuller and her husband, Jonathan, visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art, they notice an older, white-haired gentleman following them. The man turns out to be Eddie Triplett, her former stepfather, who was married to her mother for little more than a year when Daphne was nine.
Now fifty-three, Daphne hasn't seen Eddie for many years, not since the fateful event that change the direction of both their lives.

When they meet again, time falls away; while their relationship was brief, it had a profound impact on them both, and now that they are reunited, they have no intention of ever being separated again.
*Whistler* is a story about two adults looking back over the choices they made and the choices that were made for them. It's a story about bravery, memory, the often small yet consequential moments that define our lives, and the endless stream of loss that in time comes for us all.
Beautiful in its simplicity, *Whistler* is ultimately about how love endures, and how the feeling of being known by one other person, even for a short time, can change everything.
