It was relatively clean and a good moral lesson about forgiveness and honesty ran through the book, however, there were some rather heated, intimate flashbacks that could be considered “edgy” to some readers. The flashbacks provided great clues and I felt such anger toward those who allowed Allie to serve time for a crime she didn’t commit.Īlthough Sister Dear was published by a Christian publisher, I did not truly feel that there was a Christian thread running through this story. This allowed me to either relate to what the person was enduring, as was the case with Allie and Caroline, or alternatively get an inside look at the motives to keep the past hidden, as was the case with Sheriff Gaines and Emma.Īlthough some readers may figure out more quickly than I did who the real villain was, I fluctuated back and forth on my conclusion about exactly what happened until late into the book. I loved the way the reader was able to view the story and flashbacks that occurred through the viewpoints of several characters. I thought that this novel was set up very well. Sister Dear is really not that type of book! I definitely gravitate toward novels that have at least a bit of romance tied in with the suspense. Sister Dear was a real page turner for me! I was actually surprised that I liked it so much even though there is not really a romantic thread running through the story.
