Amos

Three bestselling authors join talents in a multi-dimensional novel that illustrates the importance of love, family, and forgiveness.

Three daughters, connected only through their relationship to Amos, a now elderly ex-musician struggling with Alzheimer’s disease, find their lives intertwining as a car accident reunites them at Amos’s bedside—bringing some long-buried issues to light.

Cass has little self-worth after Amos left her as a child. It is only through her cake-decorating business and encouragement from her best friend that she begins to reconstruct her life, eventually realizing she has enough room in her heart to forgive him. Love-starved Toya doesn’t want to emulate others’ failed relationships. As she begins to strengthen her morals and stops seducing married men—she is surprised to discover that she shares some similarities with Amos. Tomiko is a beautiful but lonely woman. Despite having a successful career in writing, she attempts to keep aspects of herself and her past buried as a coping mechanism. However, new love reawakens her faith in both herself and men.

As Cass, Toya, and Tomiko reconcile their feelings of abandonment, Amos reflects on his life and the decisions he made. And by revisiting their painful pasts, they all find ways to reconnect with each other and live with compassion.
