Description
This book is about three sisters raised as privileged children in the sixties. Tragedy strikes the family through business problems, their father's disappearance, and their mother's nervous breakdown.
Quick Summary
Set against the backdrop of the swinging sixties, this story follows three sisters whose charmed lives suddenly implode when their father disappears and their mother suffers a breakdown, forcing them to discover who they really are outside their family's shadows. Kids will devour the sisterly drama, the gritty Philadelphia neighborhood setting, and the way these girls must piece together their shattered world while uncovering shocking family secrets. If your kid loves "The Full Ride" or "Kindred" by Octavia Butler, they'll eat this up because it serves the same emotional gut-punch about surviving impossible family situations. Ideal for teens in grades 10-12 who appreciate historical fiction with real emotional weight.
