In 1986 Austin, Texas, sixteen-year-old Stephanie steps into sixty-two-year-old Lauren's life, her uncanny resemblance cracking open a buried past. Claiming to be the daughter of the child Lauren gave up for adoption forty-five years ago, Stephanie upends Lauren's life-already complicated by her remarriage to Brett after decades apart. Stung by her adoptive grandmother's deception of concealing her mother's adoption, Stephanie stays, her past of tragedy and self-harm forging a fragile bond with Lauren and Brett. When Stephanie's trust fund evaporates, crushing her college dreams, Lauren sacrifices all to give her a future-only to face a bittersweet twist that echoes the past and changes everything. This heart-wrenching family drama delves into the enduring impact of secrets, the power of unconditional love, and the strength found in facing our pasts. Higher Love delivers a sweeping, heartfelt narrative about facing the past, embracing the present, and discovering the joys found in love, resilience, and family.
