Meghann Dontess is a woman haunted by heartbreak. Twenty-seven 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 attorney 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. It is the first time they have been together in more than two decades. Over the course of a hot Pacific Northwest summer, these two women who believe they have nothing in common will try to become what they never were: a family.
Tender, funny, bittersweet, and wonderfully moving, Between Sisters celebrates the joys and heartaches that can be shared only by sisters, the mistakes made in the name of love, and the healing power of new beginnings - all beautifully told by acclaimed author Kristin Hannah.
In the popular genre of romance, devotees want engrossing stories with happy endings. Kristin Hannah's fans will not be disappointed by this look into the lives of two very different women who happen to be half-sisters. With only their past in common, Meghann Dontess and Claire Cavenaugh try to find the elusive thread of family lost years ago. Laural Merlington's reading lends credibility to Meghann's rationalizations for choosing career over marriage and emotional commitments. Unfortunately, with the exception of the sisters, Hannah's characters lack substance. Merlington's performance helps Hannah's florid descriptions sound less effusive, although her rendition of Claire's "precious" daughter may give listeners sugar-shock. Even so, with Merlington's able help, fans will be able to suspend disbelief, get the tissues, and have a bawl. S.J.H. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
