Intriguing set-up and the story is told from three different viewpoints: Pia and Lily, who are sisters, and Beth, who is their sister-in-law. Pia has recently been widowed, and Lily is in prison for manslaughter. The person she is convicted of killing is her brother and Beth's young daughter. Ultimately, I found Lily's and Beth's stories compelling, but Pia's life took some very bizarre turns that were completely out of character, even given the loss of her husband, and I lost interest in her and whatever planet she was living on very quickly. I wish the author would have done more with Lily and Beth and and left Pia by the wayside. Promising book that turned out to be somewhat disappointing. ( ) The Secret Sisters holds a place among my favorite books. Ms. Rodgers managed to use a different style of writing to evoke each of three women—making each character all the more believable. Each word is so well chosen to evoke mood and emotion. I found myself laughing and near tears as I followed each of these sisters through the recovery from life-stopping tragedies. Even while enjoying one sister’s story I eagerly anticipated reaching the point where I would be able to discover more about the other two. Tied together by loss these sisters each seemed to be experience a rebirth of sorts. While only Lily obviously anticipated hers the other two sisters also found renewal. What a wonderful story of hope in the face of unimaginable grief. I highly recommend The Secret Sisters and I look forward to future works by Ms. Rodgers.

Though she is now remarried, Pia has never really gotten over her first husband's death. Her new husband travels most of the time leaving her alone in their pristine home, surrounded by white walls, white furniture, white carpeting. White, white, white. She keeps in touch, by phone, with her sister Lily, who, through a tragic and innocent mistake, was responsible for the death of her niece in a car accident and is now serving time in jail. Pia also talks to her sister-in-law, Beth, the grieving mother of the dead girl. Surrounded by these tragedies, Pia views the world as a threat to her hard-earned, peaceful--if lonely--way of life. She leaves the house only once a week; to visit her doctor. One day, on her way there, she stumbles across a hidden antique store and ventures inside. Like Alice, tumbling down the rabbit hole, the store--and its exotic owner--open her up to a whole new existence, one of swirling colors and chaotic feelings, of longing, desire and a new lust for life.
