have more than most.

When their father's sudden death reveals an earth-shattering truth, three sisters find that everything they thought they knew about their family — and their future — has changed overnight.

Jen spent her childhood feeling like the ugly duckling while her sister got all the attention. She never forgave Lynn for fleeing to California to chase her dreams, leaving Jen behind to care for their father and run the family business alone.

Lynn has been living in exile in Los Angeles, enduring the pain of a humiliating divorce in silence — too ashamed to admit her mistakes to her seemingly perfect older sister. The distance between them has never felt greater.

Courtney didn't even know her father existed until after he was gone. Now she has to figure out what life looks like with two older sisters who can't stand each other, while trying to piece together a past she was never told about.

This tragedy should bring them together. Instead, the depth of their father's betrayal — and the weight of their own histories — makes reconciliation feel nearly impossible.

Only time will tell if the bonds of sisterhood are strong enough to survive what their father left behind.

The Last Summer Sister is a deeply felt novel about family secrets, the complicated love between sisters, and whether the truth can heal what years of silence have broken.
