Twins. How does one describe the bond that only they
share? From their first breath until their dying day,
these separate beings mesh their souls and share their
hearts in a secret language that only they can decipher.
For Kerry and Eve Barnard, there is no one else.
Abandoned by their mother and left behind by the death of
their father, these girls are forced to grow up and become
strong, independent woman in a world that shows no mercy.
Situated on a small island, Kerry and Eve make the
best of dire circumstances. Taking pity on the forlorn
girls, the townsfolk do whatever they can to help them
survive from anonymous gifts to providing food for their
table. Both these girls know that there is something to
be said for love that can only be found in a small town.
As if they hadn't had their fair share of
heartache, during the tumultuous summer of their
seventeenth birthday, their bond is put to the test as
their lives come tumbling down leaving a quake in its
path. Within a blink of an eye, they must choose between
loyalty and love knowing that there is no turning back and
that their choice will ultimately determine their fate.
Blood is thicker than water, but all too often when a man
is involved, no rules need apply. Will these sisters be
able to overcome what has been dealt or will they wind up
losing each other in the process and live their lives
apart?
PIECES OF MY SISTER'S LIFE is a powerful debut
novel by Elizabeth Joy Arnold masterfully told from the
past as well as the present. With each page, Arnold
captivates her audience as she skillfully depicts the
intense pain and suffering that makes the reader connect
with her characters and want for more. Poignant, heart-
breaking, and at times highly emotionally. PIECES OF
SISTER'S LIFE is the perfect book club
read.
Two sisters who shared everything. One unforgivable moment.
And a second chance... There’s something to talk
about in every chapter of Elizabeth Joy Arnold’s poignant,
insightful debut novel—the perfect summer read for all those
who loved Elisabeth Robinson’s The True and Outstanding
Adventures of the Hunt Sisters, Judy Blume’s Summer
Sisters, and Jodi Picoult’s My Sister’s
Keeper.
Once, Kerry and Eve Barnard did
everything together: sailing the Block Island harbor with
their father, listening to their neighbor Justin’s magical
fairy tales, and all the while longing for their absent
mother. They were twin girls arm in arm, secrets entwined
between two hearts. Until the summer of their seventeenth
birthday, when their extraordinary bond was shattered. And
thirteen years later, it will take all the courage they can
summon to put the pieces back together—at a time when it
matters most...
