The Silent Sister by Diane Chamberlain
|
Summary: In The Silent Sister, Riley MacPherson has spent her entire life believing that her older sister Lisa committed suicide as a teenager. Now, over twenty years later, her father has passed away and she's in New Bern, North Carolina cleaning out his house when she finds evidence to the contrary. Lisa is alive. Alive and living under a new identity. But why exactly was she on the run all those years ago, and what secrets are being kept now? As Riley works to uncover the truth, her discoveries will put into question everything she thought she knew about her family. Riley must decide what the past means for her present, and what she will do with her newfound reality, in this engrossing mystery from international bestselling author Diane Chamberlain.
Angie's Comments: I wouldn't call The Silent Sister a mystery because I was able to guess most of the secrets (and this might be one of only times I was able to do that!). Really, the book is more about family and emotions. How do you deal growing up with distant, sad parents? How do you handle knowing your parents kept secrets from you? I am amazed that Riley grew up so well adjusted (and I even amazed that Riley's brother doesn't have more issue). Although the end was too pat, I enjoyed reading this book, and it flowed smoothly.
