review 1: I thought this was a pretty good book. Story about 4 sisters, one who has passed away, and their relationship with their mom. The story starts out with the 3 remaining sisters going back to their family home because of concerns over their mom's health. Laura is an actress, Ellen is a pastor and Theresa is contemplating becoming a nun. The book gets into their relationships with each other and their partners. Theresa was adopted as a child and there's a nice twist regarding her adoption. Ellen is also back home to escape dealing with the fact that her husband fathered a son before they were married (another twist to the story). The book is written with each character telling her story in multiple chapters. This was an inexpensive purchase and a pleasant surp... morerise.
review 2: Wow! a first person novel, the story advances one first person point of view at a time. Starting with Ellen, the minister being approached by a 18/19 year old kid who has a birth certificate saying that she's his mother and discovering he's her husband's son and her husband won't tell either of them who the real mother is. Just as you think with each point of view that this major marital secret is being solved more explosive secrets bubble up. Suspenseful, well written and explosive. I felt like this was a great lesson in novel writing for writers. less
