Years after losing her husband, Raizel has settled into a routine yet comfortable life in Chevy Chase, Maryland. She's not looking for love when Eli, a contractor with a complicated past, arrives to work on her home. Their relationship blossoms and quickly grows, but Eli's drinking-coupled with the burden of a family history he can't escape-threatens everything he's trying to build with Raizel.
When a long-buried truth surfaces in an unexpected way, Raizel is forced to make a choice between the weight of past traumas and the life she wants to lead. The Story Keepers is a thoughtful novel about the secrets that shape us and the fragile bonds that hold families together.
