The Sunshine Sisters is a moving story of love, loss and family by the bestselling author of Falling, Jane Green. "I'm in AWE of Jane Green." Marian Keyes It was never easy, being one of Ronni Sunshine's daughters. Publicly, she is the glamorous, successful, dramatic Hollywood actress.

Ronni's three adult daughters - Nell, Meredith, and Lizzy - are largely estranged, both from her, and from each other. All are going through crises of their own.
