Hello Beautiful (Oprah’s Book Club): A Novel

Hello Beautiful — a New York Times bestseller, Oprah’s Book Club pick, and over one million copies sold — is a deeply moving family drama from Ann Napolitano, author of Dear Edward.

When William Waters, scarred by a loveless childhood, meets Julia Padavano, his life is transformed by her warmth and the tight bond she shares with her three sisters: Sylvie, the romantic dreamer; Cecelia, the free-spirited artist; and Emeline, the gentle caretaker. Within the Padavano household, William finds the sense of belonging he’s always longed for.

But when William’s buried past resurfaces, it threatens Julia’s dreams and fractures the sisters’ once-unbreakable bond, creating a rift that echoes through generations.

A modern homage to Little Women, Hello Beautiful is a tender and powerful story about love, family, forgiveness, and the courage to embrace others — not despite their flaws, but because of them.
