Some families youre born into, some you have to find for yourself Sarabeth Silver knows that her mom is different. Jane Silver is younger, prettier, harder working, and poorermaking just enough money cleaning houses for her and Sarabeth to live in a little trailer. Its always been just the two of them, but when tragedy suddenly strikes, Sarabeth will have to figure things out on her own. Sarabeth has never known either of her parents families, who refused to help when Jane got pregnant at sixteen. Is it worth trying to find them after they rejected her parents so long ago? She knows her friends would be willing to help, but how can she lean on them when what she really wants is the open hearts of relatives shes not even sure exist? And if they are out there, how will they feel about Sarabeth after all these years?

I vividly remember reading Three Sisters as an older adolescent and having mixed feelings. This one came out when I was in grad school, and it's ... more affecting. As in, I could spy some of the tropes coming, was again frustrated by loose ends and writing that didn't quite hit its target, and still cried at the end. Maybe it's just the YA genre re-seen as an adult; my hat's still off to most who work in it :)

@MrBook asked about childhood favs today. One of my favs (besides The Baby Sitters Club and Sweet Valley High) was Silver. I did some nostalgia browsing and YA'LL! I found a freakin sequel!!! I snagged it for my kindle and will be reading it tonight.

MrBook Ooh! Very nice 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! I think @BookBabe will be adding this to her TBR 😊👍🏻. 7y
