From New York Times best-selling author Marie Bostwick comes an emotionally rich, inspiring new novel about family, second chances, and the connections that bring women together in hope and healing.

Years of long workdays and little sleep as a political campaigner are about to pay off now that Lucy Toomey's boss is entering the White House. But when her estranged older sister, Alice, unexpectedly dies, Lucy is drawn back to Nilson's Bay, her small, close-knit Wisconsin hometown.

An accident in her teens left Alice mentally impaired, and she was content to stay in Nilson's Bay. Lucy, meanwhile, got out and never looked back. But now, to meet the terms of Alice's eccentric will, Lucy has taken up temporary residence in her sister's cottage - and begins to see the town, and Alice's life, anew. Alice's diverse group of friends appears to have little in common besides an interest in quilting. Yet deep affection for Alice united them, and soon Lucy, too, is brought into the fold as they share problems and stories. And as she finds warmth and support in this new circle, Lucy begins to understand this will be her sister's enduring gift: a chance to move beyond her difficult past and find what she has long been missing.

Story starts off with promise - if you can get past the narrator's emphasis on every single word. The story becomes overly burdened with what I imagine the author feels is the fabric of the narrative - but it weighs down the plot and keeps it from moving forward. As for the reading, it was frustrating in that every single word is read with equal weight. not worth 14 hours of your time...

so so story. ..annoying narration

This book was so good - so warm! It threw me in and made me a part of everything that happened once it got started and I really did feel almost like I should be living there, and a part of Lucy‘s life.

Definitely five stars!

Enjoyed listening to The Second Sister. Interesting storyline that was easy to listen to and easy to follow. Held my interest all the way through. Nothing too dramatic or suspenseful. Not overly sexual and no swearing. Just an enjoyable book about life happenings that could actually be describing the life of an actual person. Just the kind of book I enjoy.

Good storyline. Held my interest

I really love the story and the characters. I almost gave up on the book do to the narrators inflections and cadence. It was really hard to get used to and some days I just couldn't listen. I'm glad I finished the story and that I couldn't figure out how to return this book or I would have missed the story.

book is great, narration is a struggle

I've just recently started reading works of fiction in earnest. I've never been a huge fan because I feel like I know the characters and want to go to the places. Anyway. This is well written and the narrator did a great job and yes, I almost went and looked up the people and places. The one thing that will stick with me forever is when Lucy went to the church and the pastor explained the Gospel of John. Why do we continue to wait for a stoning that will never come? I think that's why I was led to this book.

This is a great story!

A northern “Sweet Magnolias”! Friendships with other women and family relationships are so special. I want to visit the town in the summer!

other reviews say the narration is not good. I did not feel that wY. However. dance the Female Main Character is do fake, selfish, thoughtless, and down right despicable (a wolf in sheep's clothing). I just couldn't stand her and thoughshe redeemed herself, to me waaay too little too late!!

Narration ok but FMC quite unlikable
