Back cover description
Two
DNA tests, one big lie…
“As I speed off in the ambulance holding my daughter’s hand, I wonder how I
could have been so stupid. I should have made the bargain, paid the price –
anything to avoid being right here, right now.
A voice whispers in my head that I can’t silence. This is all your fault.
You killed her. It’s her voice, the one I hear in my nightmares.
The woman who stole my memories, the woman who stole my life. And, this time, I
know she’s right.”
How far would you go to save your child?
Claire is living every mother’s worst nightmare. Her daughter, Jess, has been
diagnosed with a rare illness and desperately needs a bone marrow transplant.
With no match on the registry, Claire turns to a charismatic geneticist for
help and embarks on a Genetic Journey to seek a familial match for her
daughter.
On the other side of the country, Marianne suffers her eighth miscarriage. Her
perfect life is rotting underneath, but she is determined to do whatever it
takes to have a baby.
When DNA test results reveal that Claire and Marianne are half-sisters, Claire
must face the dark lies of the past and make impossible choices about the
future. Is her secret sister the answer to her prayers, or will she cost her
everything?
My Secret Sister is a tense and emotional family drama with a moral
dilemma at its heart. Fans of Liane Moriarty, Jodi Picoult, and John
Marrs' The One will be gripped.
Review
Two women on opposite sides of the country are connected in a way they never knew. They are both looking for a close family relation, one to save her daughter and one to have a child. Both are mothers that will do anything to protect their children. What I loved about this book was the honest writing. Lauren takes you on an emotional journey with these two women. Their home lives are not perfect. Their husbands have given up on them. But through it all they keep going for their children.
I really enjoyed the premise of the story and the ending. It was unexpected but fit the book perfectly.
