Thanks to Kayleigh Clark of Berkley/NAL, I am giving away one print copy of ‘Splinters Of Light’ by Rachael Herron.
Book Description:
From the acclaimed author of ‘Pack Up the Moon’ comes a poignant and beautiful novel about love, loss, and the unbreakable bonds of family—particularly those between mothers, daughters, and sisters.
Ten years ago, Nora Glass started writing essays about being a single mother of a six-year-old daughter. Her weekly column made her a household name, and over the years, her fans have watched Ellie grow from a toddler to a teenager.
But now Nora is facing a problem that can’t be overcome. Diagnosed with a devastating disease that will eventually take away who she is, she is scared for herself, but even more frightened about what this will mean for her sixteen-year-old daughter.
Now Nora has no choice but to let go of her hard-won image as a competent, self-assured woman, and turn to the one person who has always relied on her: her twin sister, Mariana. Nora and Mariana couldn’t be more different from one another, and they’ve always had a complicated relationship. But now the two sisters will have to summon the strength to help them all get through a future none of them could have ever imagined, while uncovering the joy and beauty that was always underneath.

Captivating and emotional. thanks.
I like books about mothers, daughters and sisters.
It is interesting that even in real life when family relationships change like that it actually seems to work out pretty well. I think in a lot of cases people are just waiting for the chance to be more supportive of each other. Thanks for the chance to win.
the relationships sound interesting
This sounds like a wonderful family drama.
Thanks for the giveaway.
The addition of Nora’s twin certainly makes the family dynamics interesting.
What I am interested in is the bond of the family and how they will deal with everything. Thanks for having the giveaway.
I enjoyed Rachel’s Pack Up the Moon so I’m interested in this new book.
