Twentyfive years ago she was forced to make a terrible choice, one that cost her everything, including the love of her sister, Claire. Now, Meghann is a hotshot divorce lawyer who doesn’t believe in intimacy - until she meets the one man who can change her mind. Claire Cavenaugh has fallen in love for the first time in her life. As her wedding day approaches, she prepares to face her harsh, judgmental older sister and their self-absorbed mother. It is the first time they have been together since that fateful moment over twenty years before. Over the course of a hot Pacific North West summer, these three women who believe they have nothing in common will try to become what they never were: a family. Tender, moving and bittersweet, Between Sisters celebrates the joys and heartaches that can only be shared by sisters, the mistakes made in the name of love and the healing power of new beginnings from the multimillion copy number one bestselling author of The Women.
