I had just finished reading Shadows of the Canyon by Tracie Peterson. I must say I really enjoyed that book. It was one of those books that I really got stuck into.
Anyways, I was at the library choosing another book to read, where I came upon A Slender Thread. Ironically, this book is written by Tracie Peterson. Since I had fallen in love with one of her books already, I reckoned that this one must also be good.
When I first read the back of the book I thought that the story would be about 5 YOUNG sisters; sisters who are around 16~25 years old (25 pushing the oldest age). I also thought that the mother, who was mentioned in the back for abandoning them, would still be alive. But in actual truth this was not the case. The story starts of with the mother’s, Rachelle Barrister, funeral. All the sisters are there to pay their respects. Ashley, the oldest, is married and has two kids. Brook, her identical twin, is in the modeling career. Connie is out there living her own life and Deirdre, the second youngest, is also married and has one child. And Erica, the baby of the family, appears to be no younger than 23. It then tells the story in a flashback sorta fashion; where you get each sister’s take on their sad past without their biological mother. So far this book has surprised me. I guess the short description on the backs of books can lead you astray sometimes. However, with saying that, I am enjoying A Slender Thread.
