One week in summer.
Eight lives forever changed.

Welcome to Vis Ta Vie.

At the Vis Ta Vie inn, Reneé and Jean-Paul De La Rue face the daunting decision to close their beloved home for good.

They’re not the only ones going through a season of change, though. Their guests include three couples in crisis: Hollywood celebs Leo and Penny are spending their silver anniversary together while on the cusp of divorce. Lucy, a practical-minded therapist, and Henry, an astronomer with his head in the stars, are struggling to find common ground. And former lawyer and current stay-at-home mom Sienna and charismatic sports agent Adam look perfect but are hiding rifts of their own. Thrown into the mix are self-absorbed single mother Cassidy and her sullen fifteen-year-old daughter, Rosalie.

The stage is set for a week of betrayals, regrets, and shocking truths that can rend the heart or heal it. Vis Ta Vie—live your life—captures what it means to love through the darkness, and to find the light even after the magic fades.

Told in seven parts for the seven days of the week, WE ARE MADE OF STARS is both suspenseful and emotional, highlighting Weinstein’s signature flair for creating relatable, evocative, and entertaining stories.

Hey there, Delilah, what’s it like in New York City?
I’m a thousand miles away, but girl tonight you look so pretty…

Now you have it stuck in your head too.

Hey There Delilah by the Plain White T’s, the song that dominated the airwaves in the summer of 2007 eventually hitting #1 on the Billboard charts and leaving an indelible mark on the hearts and souls of teens AND adults, inspired WHAT YOU DO TO ME. Weinstein crafts an emotional and moving story of two people brought together by the incredible power of music and lyrics.

Journalist Cecilia James is a sucker for a love song. So when she stumbles across a clue to the identity of the muse for one of rock’s greatest, she devotes herself to uncovering the truth, even as her own relationship is falling apart.

While writing an article for Rolling Stone, Cecilia works to reveal the mystery that has intrigued fans and discovers a classic tale of two soulmates separated by fate and circumstance. Rock star Eddie Vee once sang with his soul, dedicating love songs to Sara Friedman, his inspiration and first love. Now, Eddie takes refuge in anonymity, closed off to the past. Sara, too, has distanced herself from their love, moving thousands of miles away to live the life she once railed against. As Eddie and Sara tentatively open up to Cecilia about broken dreams, she struggles to give them a happy ending. In the process, she learns that broken hearts can be healed―even her own.

What You Do To Me is the story of a love song and of the triumph of the heart over the greatest of odds. Even for those who have written off love forever.

It’s never too late to forgive the mistakes of the past.

Welcome an escape to the stunning North Carolina mountains as Rochelle B. Weinstein takes readers on a moving journey of healing and forgiveness in When We Let Go.

When Avery Beckett is proposed to by Jude Masters, a widowed father and the man she loves, it should be a time of great joy. Instead, Avery is on edge. She’s wary of the idea of family, doubtful of happy endings, and too afraid to take the leap. It’s the kind of fear that comes from having secrets.

Before Avery commits to a new life, she must reconcile with the one she left behind.

When Avery returns to her childhood farm in the North Carolina mountains, she’s surprised to be saddled with a companion: Jude’s teenage daughter, Elle, who’s grappling with the loss of her mother and the complicated emotions of first love. On a path of mending wounds and breaking down walls, Avery and Elle form an unexpected alliance. It’s giving them the courage to move forward. And for Avery, everything she needs to confront the past.

An emotional tale of mothers and daughters, loss and acceptance, When We Let Go is about the lessons that come from heartbreak and the healing it takes to embrace the joy of a second chance.

An emotional novel for mothers, daughters, and anyone who has ever felt imperfect.

Consider this: in a matter of seconds, and at the touch of a button, your livelihood and your reputation could be destroyed. This chilling notion is a harsh reality for the millions who are victimized by online sexual harassment each year. With a staggering 47% of Americans impacted by this burgeoning epidemic, about 10 million of us – or one in 25 – have either been threatened or victimized with nonconsensual image sharing, according to the Data and Society Research Institute. When it comes to teenagers, this number jumps to an alarming 1 in 10 (bullyingstastics.org).

These digital forms of assault – and the devastation left in their wake – are at the core of Somebody’s Daughter, a gripping novel which highlights the growing problem of teenagers oversharing and misunderstanding impact of social media.

Emma and Bobby Ross enjoy a charmed life on the shores of Miami Beach. They are a model family with a successful business, an uncomplicated marriage, and two blessedly typical twin daughters, Zoe and Lily. They are established members of a tight-knit community.

Then, on the night of the girls’ fifteenth birthday party, they learn of Zoe’s heartbreaking mistake―a private and humiliating indiscretion that goes viral and thrusts her and her family into the center of a shocking public scandal.

As the family’s core is shattered by disgrace, judgment, and retribution, the fallout takes its toll. But for Emma, the shame runs deeper. Her daughter’s reckless behavior has stirred memories of her own secrets that could break a marriage and family forever.

“A heart-wrenching tale of loss, loyalty, and the will to overcome….Weinstein explores the difficult facets of grief that are often too painful to recognize, the solipsism of mourning, the selfishness of regret, and the guilt of moving on….Ultimately, this novel full of mourning has a large, aching heart full of sympathy and potential, and will keep the reader listening for signs of restored life.”
—Kirkus

“Weinstein hooked me with her first novel, and The Mourning After has made me a fan for life. She has that rare ability to hook you from chapter one, keep you turning the pages, and then continue to think about the characters long after you have put the book down. It takes an exceptionally talented writer to weave a real but little-known disease like GSD into a novel, and yet use it in a way that only advances the story and enhances her characters.”
