THE WINTER SISTER
THE WINTER SISTER is a gorgeously written debut suspense novel, in which a woman returns home to care for her cancer-stricken mother. Both are traumatized by the murder of her teenaged sister sixteen years earlier.
Sixteen years ago, Sylvie's sister never came home. Persephone, out too late with the boyfriend she was forbidden to see, was missing for three days before her body was found and her murder is still unsolved. Now Sylvie's back in town reluctantly caring for her cancer-stricken mother, Annie. Prone to unexplained Dark Days even before Persephone's death, Annie's once-close bond with Sylvie completely dissolved in the days after. To make matters worse, Persephone's boyfriend Ben is now a nurse at the cancer center where Annie is being treated.
Sylvie's always believed Ben was responsible for the murder but she's also carrying her own secret guilt over the night Persephone didn't come home, guilt that's trapping her in the past while the world goes on around her. As she navigates the uncomfortably revived relationship with her mother, Sylvie begins to gently dig into the secrets that fill their house and what really happened the night Persephone died. As it turns out, the truth really will set you free, once you can bear to look at it.
