"They were what Meghan wanted them to be, polite strangers who shared a blood type and an ugly childhood"

Between Sisters - Kristin Hannah

This story was a bit of fluff a easy to put down until the emotional end, when of course I had to finish to see how the bow was going to be neatly tied up.

This story is about two sisters in the Pacific Northwest - one in Seattle, the other living in the middle of nowhere in a small town. The sisters are adults living with remnants of a painful childhood where a mother deserted them to pursue her acting career. They are in all practical ways, strangers. Circumstances take over that give these two women a second chance at becoming the sisters they always wished they had been and had had. Forgiveness, redemption and love are all helped by a crisis situation where lives are changed forever and for the better.

Kristin Hannah has grown as an author over the years, and I recommend reading her later books if one is being chosen. As a "child of the 70's", I especially liked "Firefly Lane" and would hand it to anyone who doesn't want the bow so neatly tied at the end.
