THE LOST SISTER, upmarket literary fiction, 94,000 words, is a story of secrets, betrayal, and the cost of saving a life.

Rumer, 36, is made executor of her father’s estate. She has sixty days to reach her sister, Morgan, 37. But Morgan wants nothing to do with Rumer.

In her quest to help her sister and find answers to how her sister’s life could have gone so wrong, Rumer only stumbles into more questions. She’s always been the successful sister, the sane one, but as her grip on reality falters and she spirals back to the past, she’s not so sure.

There is Morgan, 12, beautiful and talented, etching her initials into her arm with a safety pin. Or crouched in the attic, lost in the imaginary world of her Barbies. While Rumer, night after night, sits with her father as he tells her fantastical stories where reality and myth shape-shift and blur. And Fern, the third sister, Rumer’s fairy-child, somehow escapes unscathed. Or does she?

As the past and the present converge, Rumer takes desperate measures to reach Morgan only to be confronted with truths about herself and the family they once were. She must decide how much she’s willing to lose to save a life, her sister’s, or her own.
