The Sisters

November 1, 2018
Glory Noland was struggling to raise daughters, four-year-old Ruby and infant Aurora, but was soon overwhelmed with panic, fear, and hopelessness. She abandoned the girls, believing they were better off without her, and joined a group called the Sisters, whose leader, Leo, seduced her with the dream of a better life. Eleven years later, Ruby and Aurora are adored by their adoptive parents, but Ruby can't stop wondering about her biological mother. Glory is now aware that the Sisters are a cult controlled by Leo but is unable to escape. She has a third daughter, Luna, and is desperate to protect herself and Luna from the terrible future that awaits them if they stay. As Ruby begins to unfold the mystery of her mother and sister, the plot picks up speed toward a conclusion that determines if the family connection will save Glory and Luna from their impending fate. Readers who enjoy compelling, character-driven thrillers with a focus on family dynamics will appreciate the latest novel from Noonan (Pretty, Nasty, Lovely, 2017).(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
