Sinopse

For Pete's Sake brings together two narratives that merge into a single story of emotion and mystery. After finding an unfinished text, a woman embarks on a journey of personal discovery that will change her outlook on life. Psychotherapist Casey Ellis is experiencing a period of loneliness: her mother fell into a coma after a terrible accident, and her father has just passed away. But Casey never actually met her father. Throughout her life, she tried to please and reach out to him, even continuing his professional legacy. Her efforts, however, were in vain: Dr. Cornelius Unger never acknowledged Casey as his legitimate daughter. But with Unger's death, a big surprise awaits: in his will, he leaves his daughter a beautiful and luxurious mansion in Beacon Hill—one of Boston's most upscale neighborhoods. At first, Casey considers selling the house and using the money for her mother's treatment. Upon entering its gates, however, she feels an inexplicable connection to the place. There's something magical about those rooms, and especially about the enchanting hidden garden at the back of the house. As if that weren't enough, there's also a friendly and helpful maid and a seductive and enigmatic gardener... The question Casey can't answer is why her father, after a lifetime of distance, reserved all this for her. The answer may lie in a text found among Unger's works: the story of a young woman named Jenny who suffered sexual abuse from her father and psychological pressure from her mother. Was it a novel? A diary? A psychological account? In this reading, the psychotherapist will learn a lot about her father and herself. For Pete's Love, considered by Barbara Delinsky to be one of her most sincere and personal novels, will satisfy her regular readers and win new admirers.
