The Second Sister | Marie Bostwick
4 posts | 8 read | 4 to read
From New York Times bestselling author Marie Bostwick comes an emotionally rich, inspiring new novel about family, second chances--and the connections that bring women together in hope and healing. . .Years of long workdays and little sleep as a political campaigner are about to pay off now that Lucy Toomey's boss is entering the White House. But when her estranged older sister, Alice, unexpectedly dies, Lucy is drawn back to Nilson's Bay, her small, close-knit, Wisconsin hometown. An accident in her teens left Alice mentally impaired, and she was content to stay in Nilson's Bay. Lucy, meanwhile, got out and never looked back. But now, to meet the terms of Alice's eccentric will, Lucy has taken up temporary residence in her sister's cottage--and begins to see the town, and Alice's life, anew. Alice's diverse group of friends appears to have little in common besides an interest in quilting. Yet deep affection for Alice united them and soon Lucy, too, is brought into the fold as they share problems and stories. And as she finds warmth and support in this new circle, Lucy begins to understand this will be her sister's enduring gift--a chance to move beyond her difficult past, and find what she has long been missing. . .

Perfect summer read even though it takes place during fall and winter holidays. Lucy is a politician‘s assistant and has been in politics all her life. Alice was permanently “damaged” in a tragic accident in their teens and has been Lucy‘s responsibility since. After Alice‘s death, Lucy is forced to return to the home town she hates in order to receive any inheritance. But, the process gives her many insights.

It reminds me a lot of the movie New in Town. It‘s a nice little book.

I've been having a hard time lately finding books I'm "in the mood for"... this was a good break from thrillers. This lovely book was a good reminder of the value of family and friendships.
