Pieces of My Sister's Life Book

Beautiful, heartbreaking and insightful, this captivating debut novel explores the unbreakable bonds of sisterhood in a story that will resonate with readers of Judy Blume's Summer Sister, Jodi Picoult's My Sister's Keeper and Elisabeth Robinson's The True and Outstanding Adventures of the Hunt Sisters. In Pieces of My Sister's Life, Elizabeth Joy Arnold paints a wise and sensitive portrait of the passions that shape our lives, the pain of dealing with a loved one's illness, and the incredible gift it is to be a sister. Two sisters who shared everything. One unforgivable moment. And a second chance...

And so Kerry must return home to confront Eve, to heal their old wounds, and to build a relationship with Eve's young daughter, who sees in Kerry the mother she once had.
