When We Were Sisters

I loved this big, fat book about two foster sisters, Cecilia a rock star (single) and Robin a lapsed photojournalist with a family. I love the depth of characters in this book, showing how each dealt with childhood abandonment in their own way. The walk through the past and the unveiling of experiences really brings home the importance of a stable family life in a childhood development. Cecilia and Robin struggled to cope in their own ways, showing how the same experience can be handled in multiple ways. Each experienced relationship issues in distinct ways, both tending to shield themselves from undue harm. I found the ending satisfying and would definitely recommend this book to those who like well-developed characters and stories.
