Pieces Of My Sister's Life

Twin sisters Kerry and Eve share everything. Everything but one. What happens when sisters must choose, their twin or the boy they both love?

Kerry and Eve have been forced to grow up fast. Their mother left them when they were just little girls. Their father is tragically taken way from them in their tender teenage years. But they have always had each other. Until their seventeenth year when something goes terribly wrong, something that will tear them apart.

Now it is thirteen years later. Can they find the strength to put their shattered relationship back together before it is to late?

WOW! PIECES OF MY SISTER’S LIFE is one of those books that after the final page is turned, makes the reader stop and think. It is a very poignant book about the bond of twins and what can happen when that bond is severed. And what it takes from both twins to bring it back together, the sister who was lied to and felt she was betrayed, and the sister who took what she wanted.

This reader connected with Kerry from the very first. Kerry seems to take a back seat to her vivacious sister, but she has a quite, engaging quality that will grab the reader’s heart. She travels back to where she has many bittersweet memories to bridge a thirteen-year gap with her sister Eve before Eve dies from cancer. Back to the home that was once her own. Kerry is the best character that this reader has had the pleasure of “meeting” in a long time. She has more courage and grit than this reader has, that is certain.

Author Elizabeth Joy Arnold has penned a book that is a worthwhile read for women of all ages. PIECES OF MY SISTER’S LIFE is Ms. Arnold’s debut novel. And what a wonderful first offering! This is an author to keep your eyes on. This reader can not wait to read future work from Ms. Arnold.

This reader will be keeping PIECES OF MY SISTER’S LIFE to be read again. It is that good. This book has that meaningful of a message. This book is very highly recommended.
