What this book is about
Meghann Dontess and her younger sister Claire were separated when they were children by a mother who was not fit to raise either of them. They have built different lives and remained apart. When Claire receives a diagnosis that changes her timeline, the sisters have to find their way back to each other. Between Sisters is an earlier Kristin Hannah novel — more compact than her recent work.
