Molly Fader - The McAvoy Sisters Book of Secrets review

Wow! This book was so completely captivating and very well written, that I didn't want to put this book down. We have the McAvoy women, two sisters, their mother and the next generations. All have lead different lives. Some of them not being what they started out wanting. I enjoyed the way we got each woman’s perspective at various points throughout the journey. The characters take the readers back in time to remember what happened in the past. I enjoyed the flow of this book and the way in which things are revealed to the reader. At times, the characters show just a hint of what’s to come before we’re taken to the next character. We see a teenage daughter growing up, wanting to be seen. We see a mom with two kids, one teenager and one infant, trying to juggle the stress of life. We see a sister/aunt coming back to help out her mother and her sister, and we see the mom, slowly losing to aging. It’s a struggle for each of them for different reasons but I enjoyed how Molly shows the importance of having family and how you can repair what was lost. This is one of those books that will stay with me long after The End. If you enjoy a wonderful read to get lost in, this is your book! Grab your copy today! 

“The talented Molly Fader will keep you turning the pages right down to the oh-so-satisfying final twist.” —Susan Wiggs, New York Times bestselling author

What drove their family apart just might bring them back together…

It’s been seventeen years since the tragic summer the McAvoy sisters fell apart. Lindy, the wild one, left home, carved out a new life in the city and never looked back. Delia, the sister who stayed, became a mother herself, raising her daughters and running the family shop in their small Ohio hometown on the shores of Lake Erie.

But now, with their mother’s ailing health and a rebellious teenager to rein in, Delia has no choice but to welcome Lindy home. As the two sisters try to put their family back in order, they finally have the chance to reclaim what’s been lost over the years: for Delia, professional dreams and a happy marriage, and for Lindy, a sense of home and an old flame—and best of all, each other. But when one turbulent night leads to a shocking revelation, the women must face the past they’ve avoided for a decade. And there’s nothing like an old secret to bring the McAvoy women back together and stronger than ever.

With warm affection and wry wit, Molly Fader’s The McAvoy Sisters Book of Secrets is about the ties that bind family and the power of secrets to hold us back or set us free.
