Release Date: May 3, 2022

About The Book:

Holly Darling is beautiful, rich, and descended from the original Wendy Darling. For decades, she and her family have been the toast of London society. The Darling women grow up hoping for Peter Pan to come to their window, dreaming of wild nights and starlit skies, and adventures that will take them far, far away.

But Holly Darling — Wendy’s granddaughter — is different. She has a career she loves, a teenage son she’d do anything for, and a daughter she never mentions who is afflicted with a mysterious condition. She has no time for fairy tales, for boys who never grow up. She has her hands full, and she also keeps a secret:

Once upon a time, Peter Pan really did visit her. And he’s not exactly as portrayed.

Book Blurbs:

“A captivating question quivers at the center of the engrossing novel, Darling Girl: What if Peter Pan isn’t just a story? While meeting the Peter Pan you never knew, reading Darling Girl is like falling under the enchanting spell of Liz Michalski prose. As with all true magic, there must be both the seductive darkness and the illuminating light: Michalski masterfully gives us both. Darling Girl introduces us to the Darling family decades away from Wendy and Peter, descendants who are grappling with secrets that protect a family mythology and a boy who will never grow up. With a young girl and her fiercely protective mother at the center of a spellbinding story, Darling Girl is powerful and captivating. Neverland and the reader will never be the same again.” —Patti Callahan, New York Times bestselling author

“A dark and dazzling tale. Liz Michalski has used her own magic wand to shed light on the lengths we go to in order to preserve the myth of beauty, the myth of youth, and even the myth of fairytales themselves.” —Sarah Addison Allen, New York Times bestselling author

Michalski’s well-constructed second novel extends the world of Peter Pan into a fascinating contemporary drama which dives deeply into themes of aging, generational trauma, and the things parents are willing to do for—or to—their children…This dark, magical tale is sure to win fans”

—Publishers Weekly

“This addictive tale about a mother’s desperation and grief, ethical dilemmas, and the price of agelessness offers the emotional heft of Jodi Picoult’s issue-driven fiction, sprinkled with a dash of pixie dust. Readers will be (dare we say it?) hooked.”
