Women's Fiction Contemporary

Molly and Robin Snow are sisters, and like all sisters they share a deep bond that sustains them through good times and bad. Their careers are flourishing—Molly is a horticulturist and Robin is a world-class runner—and they are in the prime of their lives. So when Molly receives the news that Robin has suffered a massive heart attack, she couldn’t be more shocked. At the hospital, the Snow family receives a grim prognosis: Robin may never regain consciousness.

As Robin’s parents and siblings struggle to cope, the complex nature of their relationship is put to the ultimate test. Molly has always lived in Robin’s shadow and her feelings for her have run the gamut, from love to resentment and back. The last time they spoke, they argued. But now there is so much more at stake. Molly’s parents fold under the devastating circumstances, and her brother retreats into the cool reserve that is shattering his own family. It’s up to Molly to make the tough decisions, and she soon makes discoveries that destroy some of her most cherished beliefs about the sister she thought she knew.

Once again New York Times bestselling author Barbara Delinsky brings us a masterful family portrait, filled with thought-provoking ideas about the nature of life itself, how emotions affect the decisions we make, and how letting go can be the hardest thing to do and the greatest expression of love all at the same time.

Re: While My Sister Sleeps

I have a blog and I've been invited many times to start Twittering. After reading this, I suppose I should take that advice to heart.
(LuAnn Morgan 11:44am April 17, 2009)

I got pulled into Facebook but I'm still not sure what Twitter is :>)

Wow - Barbara Delinsky! I have read every book you have ever written, beginning with the Candlelight Ectasy under Bonnie Drake, and the Silhouettes as Billie Douglass (weren't those great stories??). Your single title books have touched my life (SHADES OF GRACE) and my heart. It takes a powerful business woman to be a success in all you do -- keep up the good, no great work!

And, thank you for all the pleasure you have given me with your wonderful stories.

Oh I am so glad you have a new book coming out. Love your books. My mom and friend also keep waiting for me to finish any new book of yours .

Have a wonderful summer.

How exciting (& exhausting) your life must be! I'm on MySpace & Facebook, but I haven't figured out what a Twitter is yet!!
(

Yep, artists/writers are also business people.

I have to unearth the voice-activated tape recorder, because it's safer than writing longhand at traffic lights when driving. Writers are a special breed, twirling many plates to get the word out for their newest books and the ones still in the shadows.

I am glad that authors can now communicate easily with their readers. I love your books
(

I love your books. They are so insightful. I have always admired someone who can paint a picture with words, which you have done for me in your books. Now I realize what goes on behind the scenes to promote a book. All I can say is "Wow".

People forget that writers must do
much more that just write their books.
They must "sell" it to their publisher,
deal with cover issues, editors, and
then the PR to reach the buying
public. Your books are very good.
You are a standing order at our
library, usually with a waiting list
started when the patrons know a new
one is coming. Keep up the good
work. We appreciate your
communicating with "your public".
(

I love your books:)

Bridget Hopper 12:22pm April 18, 2009)

hello.
I'd like to thank-you for your true to life writting. your books have given me so much insight, as a mother, a sister,a daugter and a friend.your books have mirrored many passroads of my life,good and bad.Thay have helped me look back and think."oh that was;nt so horrible' I went through it with pride and survived , that is something good to bring to memories that once were a hardship.
I enjoy all your series, and look forward to your future novels
(
Shirley Brewer 11:34am April 20, 2009)

Barbara,
I have enjoyed your books immensely and have recommended them to others to read. You never seem to get my neck of the woods (Seattle) but one my dreams is to meet you in person and tell you face to face how much I enjoy your work.
(
Rosie Stroy 8:58pm April 22, 2009)

It sounds like you have to eat, sleep and breathe any new book you have written and any you are working on. It must be exciting and exhausting at the same time.
