Description

Rachel and Drew Snow might be sisters, but their lives have followed completely different paths. Rachel is happily married but hasn't returned to her childhood home since her strict father kicked her out after an act of careless teenage rebellion. Drew, her younger sister, pursued a passion for music but longs for the stability that has always eluded her. But when their deferential Japanese mother, Hikari, is diagnosed with dementia, the sisters come together to uncover family secrets that help them reconnect.

Reviews

Praise for Sisters of Heart and Snow

As Rachel and Drew overcome their past contentious relationship to unite in a front to protect their mother, the heroic exploits of this honored figure in Japanese history inspire and imbue them with the fortitude to confront their fathers overpowering ways. Spanning centuries, Dilloways intricate, multigenerational saga of repressive family dynamics offers a timeless look at the bonds of sisterhood. Booklist

The ways in which Rachel and Drew learn from Tomoe and Yamabuki and apply those lessons to their own lives are unexpected and ultimately satisfying. In this enjoyable novel, imperfect and at times unlikable women become lovable. Kirkus Reviews

A skillfully woven tale where the lore of a twelfth-century female samurai helps two present-day sisters release the past and heal their fractured lives. Vivid, detailed, and historically fascinating. Beth Hoffman, New York Timesbestselling author of Looking for Me

I deeply admire Margaret Dilloways deftness in braiding together past and present, but what I love best about this book is that every relationship rings true, particularly the complicated bonds of sisterhood. As Drew and Rachel struggle toward each other, butting heads, wrestling with old jealousies, discovering deep reservoirs of love, I kept thinking: Yes! Thats it. Thats exactly how it is. Marisa de los Santos, New York Timesbestselling author of Love Walked In and Belong to Me
