Synopsis
&“A daughter secretly infiltrates an Oregon cult to save her mother in this harrowing tale&” from the author of Domestic Secrets (Publishers Weekly).Twelve years ago, Glory abandoned her two daughters—four-year-old Ruby and baby Aurora—at a fire station, running off to a man who promised love and protection. Though the refuge she hoped for turned out to be a sham, she believes Ruby and Aurora are better off without her. But Glory has since given birth to another daughter, who&’s clamoring for a life beyond their close-knit, tightly controlled world.Sixteen-year-old Ruby loves her adoptive parents, but she hasn&’t forgotten Glory. Now that she has her driver&’s license, Ruby sets out in search of her birth mother. What she finds is a ramshackle house of castaway women, referred to as &“sisters,&” ruled over by a charismatic bully who monitors their every move.Glory would take ten-year-old Luna away in a heartbeat if they had somewhere to go. On good days, the girl is confined to the fenced-in yard; on bad days, she&’s sent to the dusty attic as punishment. When Ruby makes contact, Glory seizes on a chance for escape. Ruby is desperate to help, but how much does she owe to family she barely knows—and how can she fix someone else&’s life when she has so little power over her own?Praise for The Sisters&“Thanks to its twisted plot and courageous characters, Noonan&’s portrait of the love between a mother and daughter is irresistible.&” —Publishers Weekly &“Noonan&’s complex novel grips the reader with fully textured characters and page turning suspense. A heart wrenching book you won&’t soon forget.&” —New York Journal of Books
