The Almost Sisters
By Joshilyn Jackson
Chic lit once again. Two step-sisters, rivals in childhood and life. Leia's grandmother gets sick, and she goes south to help her. Turns out, there are literally skeletons in the closet, or in this case, a skeleton in a trunk. Grandmother has a degenerative disease and is lucid only some of the time. Her lifelong friend is her caretaker.
Turns out, gramma, Birchie, killed her own father many years ago, and she put his body in a trunk where it has been for 70 years. Hettie, it turns out, is actually Birchie's half sister as Birchie's father had a long-standing sexual liaison with Hettie's mother, at that time, she was the family's black servant.
Rating: 3.5/5
Recommendation: A decent read. A few surprises along the way.
