The Promise Girls
The Promise Girls | Marie Bostwick
12 posts | 7 read | 1 reading | 6 to read
In an emotionally rich and captivating new novel, New York Times bestselling author Marie Bostwick reunites three sisters whose deep bond is rooted in an unconventional past. Every child prodigy grows up eventually. For the Promise sisters, escaping their mother's narcissism and the notoriety that came with her bestselling book hasn't been easy. Minerva Promise claimed that her three "test tube" daughters--gifted pianist Joanie, artistic Meg, and storyteller Avery--were engineered and molded to be geniuses. In adulthood, their modest lives fall far short of her grand ambitions. But now, twenty years after the book's release, she hopes to redeem herself by taking part in a new documentary. Meg, who hasn't picked up a paintbrush in years, adamantly refuses to participate, until a car accident leaves her with crushing medical bills. While she recuperates in Seattle, the three sisters reluctantly meet with filmmaker Hal Seeger, another former prodigy. Like them, he's familiar with the weight of failed potential. But as he digs deeper, he uncovers secrets they've hidden from each other--and a revelation that will challenge their beliefs, even as it spurs them to forge their own extraordinary lives at last. Praise for Marie Bostwick and Her Novels "Beautiful, thought-provoking, tragic and redeeming, The Second Sister is a feel-good goldmine." --USAToday.com "Fans of Debbie Macomber and Robyn Carr will enjoy this warm, witty novel of rediscovery and personal growth." --Booklist on The Second Sister "A story that touches women on many levels and yet is filled with humor and a bit of pathos." --Kirkus on Between Heaven and Texas

This was an interesting book that tackle the thought of “designer babies”. I really liked the relationships and different personalities in this book and it even had a pretty good twist. I liked this for a light and easy read.

Enjoyable - I'm a sucker for anything sisters oriented. Throw in some amnesia and some mermaids and it's a perfect pre-summer read.

I couldn't put it down. I was immediately hooked and was laughing out loud and sniffing tears. I guessed the big twist but it didn't matter, because I was cheering on the characters. A great sister story.

I loved this book. Marie Bostwick writes books you can trust without being too predictable. Curl up with a blanket and a cup of tea and enjoy - especially if you have sisters.

An interesting premise! 3 child prodigy sisters who have tried to escape their notoriety are forced into making a documentary about their lives because they're short on funds.
