Blue Sisters: A Read with Jenna Pick: A Novel

We rated this book:

$30.00


The four sisters of the Blue family were raised by indifferent parents. The eldest child, as is often in many families, guided the younger sisters and acted as the real parent. Unfortunately, the indifference the girls felt from their parents was their go-to mode as adults. Each of them became indifferent to their surroundings, their relationships and their careers. Drugs, of course, make a person most indifferent. Drugs were the recourse for these sisters. Drugs took the life of the middle child who had been a lynch pin for the other three. Now the remaining sisters had to come together in order to deal with this great loss. Each grieved in their own way. The eldest was holding on by threads to her sobriety and relationship. The youngest had blown up her career while she heedlessly continued a life to indulgence. The key question for this story is whether the sisters can remake the bonds that once made them a family or are they willing to turn away from each other?
