An Uncommon Family

By Christa Polkinhorn

In the heart of Zurich, Switzerland, three lives scarred by loss and betrayal collide, setting the stage for a journey of healing, love, and redemption.

Six-year-old Karla, yearning for the mother she lost too soon, finds solace in her burgeoning talent for painting. Anna, grappling with the wounds of her ex-husband's deceit, becomes both a mentor and a maternal figure to Karla. Meanwhile, Jonas, a widowed artist and teacher, hides behind his grief, carrying a secret from his past that threatens to unravel everything.

As Anna and Jonas nurture Karla's gift, their connection deepens into a fragile romance. However, their newfound bond faces an impasse when Anna stumbles upon Jonas's secret. Determined to mend their fractured relationship, young Karla devises a daring plan with the help of a friend. Yet, as her scheme spirals out of control, Karla is forced to confront hard truths about love and the complexities of life.

An Uncommon Family is a poignant tale of loss, lies, and betrayal-and a testament to the transformative power of love and forgiveness. Spanning Switzerland, New York City, and Guadalajara, this story invites readers on a heartfelt journey of resilience and hope.
