Tpanning several decades and written in an authentic voice
both lyrical and wise, The Sisters of Glass Ferry is a
haunting novel about small-town Southern secrets, loss and
atonement, and the unbreakable bond between siblings. Glass Ferry, Kentucky, is bourbon country. Whiskey has
been a way of life for generations, enabling families to
provide and survive even in the darkest times. Flannery
Butler’s daddy, Beauregard “Honey Bee” Butler, was known
for making some of the best whiskey in the state, aged in
barrels he’d take by boat up and down the Kentucky River
until the rocking waters turned the spirits smooth and
golden. Flannery is the only person Honey Bee ever
entrusted with his recipes before he passed on, swearing
her to secrecy as he did so. But Flannery is harboring other secrets too, about her
twin sister Patsy, older by eight minutes and pretty in a
way Flannery knows she’ll never be. Then comes the prom
night when Patsy—wearing a yellow chiffon dress and the
family pearls—disappears along with her date. Every
succeeding year on the twins’ birthday, Flannery’s mother
bakes a strawberry cake, convinced that this is the day
Patsy will finally come home. But it will be two
tumultuous decades until the muddy river yields a clue
about what happened that night, compelling Flannery to
confront the truth about her sleepy town, her family’s
past, and the choices she and those closest to her have
made in the name of love and retribution…
