Kristin Hannah

Years ago, Meghann Dontess made a terrible choice that cost her everything, including the love of her sister, Claire. Now, Meghann is a highly successful attorney who doesn’t believe in intimacy–until she meets the one man who can change her mind. Claire Cavenaugh has fallen in love for the first time in her life. As her wedding day approaches, she prepares to face her strong-willed older sister. Reunited after more than two decades apart, these two women who believe they have nothing in common will try to become what they never were: a family. Tender, funny, bittersweet, and moving, Between Sisters skillfully explores the profound joys and sorrows shared by sisters, the mistakes made in the name of love, and the promise of redemption– all beautifully told by acclaimed author Kristin Hannah.

Meghann Dontess glaubt nicht an die Liebe. Die erfolgreiche Scheidungsanwältin hat zu viele Ehen scheitern sehen, und auch ihr eigenes Herz ist einmal zu oft gebrochen worden. Mit ihrer jüngeren Schwester Claire, die auf dem Land lebt, hat sie sich vor Jahren überworfen. Als sie erfährt, dass Claire heiraten will, beschließt Meghann, sie davon abzubringen. Doch bei Claire wird sie nicht nur mit ihren eigenen Ängsten konfrontiert, sondern plötzlich auch mit der Möglichkeit einer neuen Liebe.

Hannah follows up Winter Garden with a strained story of friendship, social pressures, love, and forgiveness. After a string of foster homes and the death of her heroin-addict mother, Lexi Baill is taken in by a newly discovered great-aunt who lives a spartan life near Seattle. Despite financial problems, the two are glad to have found each other, and though Lexi resolves to stay safely on the periphery at her new high school, she soon meets Mia, unhappy and awkward despite a solid family life, a loving twin brother, Zach, and a closetful of clothes.
