From an award-winning young adult author<br />
comes a touching women’s fiction debut<br />
featuring three sisters who discover that coming<br />
home for the holidays isn’t as easy as it seems…<br />
When the Yancey girls were young, holidays at their hundred-acre family<br />
farm meant a tinsel-garnished tree, the scent of simmering food, and<br />
laughter ringing through the house. But as the years unfolded, family<br />
bonds fractured and, once grown, the three sisters scattered across the<br />
continent and settled into separate lives. Now they’ve been called home<br />
to spend the holiday with their mother—and to bury their father.<br />
Together again for a week in the heartland, old conflicts surface, new<br />
secrets emerge, and the holidays will test the limits and definition of<br />
family for everyone. But a turning point is at hand and the sisters will<br />
finally have to answer the question: when you’re a sister, aren’t you a<br />
sister forever?<br />
