When We Were Sisters

Booklist


From Booklist, Copyright (c) American Library Association. Used with permission.

Although they're not biological sisters, Cecilia and Robin were brought up together in the foster-care system and remain very close. When wife and mother Robin survives a horrifying car accident, she decides that it is time to return to her photojournalist career, and she accepts an invitation from Cecilia, now a famous singer-songwriter, to take pictures for a documentary on foster care. But as they revisit old foster homes and talk about their experiences, all sorts of memories and secrets neither had ever shared with anyone, even with each other, rise to the surface. Each woman must face her own demons if she is ever to become whole. Though most of the plot is told from Cecilia's and Robin's points of view, Richards also has Robin's husband, Kris, narrate several chapters, giving the reader an outsider's perspective on the women's relationship as well as the husband's take on the state of his marriage. Richards descends into some soap-box preaching about the evils of foster care, but readers will feel redeemed by the surprises revealed.--Kubisz, Carolyn Copyright 2016 Booklist
