Summary:
"Catherine West has spent her entire life surrounded by
beautiful
things. She owns an immaculate Manhattan apartment, she collects fine art, she buys exquisite handbags and clothing, and she constantly redecorates her home. And yet, despite all this, she still feels empty. She sees her personal trainer, she gets weekly massages, and occasionally she visits her mother and sister on the Upper East Side, but after two broken engagements and boyfriends who wanted only her money, she is haunted by the fear that she'll never have a family of her own. One night, at an art opening, Catherine meets William Stockton, a handsome man who shares her impeccable taste and love of beauty. He is educated, elegant, and even has a personal connection--his parents and Catherine's parents were friends years ago. But as he and Catherine grow closer, she begins to encounter strange signs, and her mother, Elizabeth (now suffering from Alzheimer's), seems to have only bad memories of William as a boy. In Elizabeth's old diary she finds an unnerving letter from a former nanny that cryptically reads: '
We
cannot trust anyone...' Is William lying about his past? And if so, is Catherine willing to sacrifice their
beautiful
life in order to find the truth? Featuring a fascinating heroine who longs for answers but is blinded by her own privilege,
We
Could
Be
Beautiful
is a glittering, seductive, utterly surprising story of love, money, greed, and family."--From publisher.
