Julia and her sister Tina went their separate ways many
years before because of a lot of reasons, but mainly because
of their rivalry for Cameron Birch. Cora loved both of her
girls, so when the news of Tina's suicide came, she called
Julia home to the mountains to help take care of her eight -
year old niece, Katie. As coincidence would have it, Cameron
came home to take care of his emotional wounds in the
mountains as well.
Although Cameron was pretty sure of his jeep's abilities, a
horrific storm caused hazardous driving conditions. The
roads were slippery, and Cameron's jeep plunged down the
ravine. Julia rushed to save his life. Having no one else,
Cameron begged Julia to take care of his physical wounds.
How could she do that and not get involved emotionally with
the man she had adored so many years before?
As Cameron and Julia rekindled flames from the past, Katie
began to rebuild her life again with the people who loved
her. Things seemed perfect, but nothing lasts forever. As
Julia prepares to resume her life back in New York, Tina
gets one last secret in, a secret that could once again
destroy everything for Julia and Cameron. Julia is in a
"catch twenty two" and must find a way to make things right
for everyone.
Cynthia Thomason's HER SISTER'S CHILD is a wonderfully
touching love story. The characters face real life
situations that test the limits of their love for one
another, not only between a man and a woman, but between
family members. The plot is creatively charming and
multi-faceted. Accolades to Ms. Thomason for an uplifting
and sweet read.
Ten years ago, to be exact. Then, Julia Sommerville was
just an awestruck student in love with a dashing young
professor. Now, after she has saved his life, Cameron Birch
sees her for the attractive, alluring woman she's become. A
woman who proves she has the courage to make extreme
decisions by taking in her sister's eight-year-old daughter.
However, when Julia finds out Cameron is the unwitting
father of little Katie, she faces the hardest choice she's
ever had to make: tell him and lose the child she has come
to love, or lie and lose the man of her dreams for the
second time….
