[Read by Angela Brazil] From New York Times bestselling author Marie Bostwick comes an emotionally rich, inspiring new novel about family, second chances, and the connections that bring women together in hope and healing. Years of long workdays and little sleep as a political campaigner are about to pay off now that Lucy Toomey's boss is entering the White House. But when her estranged older sister, Alice, unexpectedly dies, Lucy is drawn back to Nilson's Bay, her small, close-knit Wisconsin hometown. An accident in her teens left Alice mentally impaired, and she was content to stay in Nilson's Bay. Lucy, meanwhile, got out and never looked back. But now, to meet the terms of Alice's eccentric will, Lucy has taken up temporary residence in her sister s cottage - and begins to see the town, and Alice's life, anew. Alice's diverse group of friends appears to have little in common besides an interest in quilting. Yet deep affection for Alice united them, and soon Lucy, too, is brought into the fold as they share problems and stories. And as she finds warmth and support in this new circle, Lucy begins to understand this will be her sister's enduring gift: a chance to move beyond her difficult past and find what she has long been missing.

I have read all of Marie Bostwick's novels, even the ones that are no longer in print. I love her books. I have all of them. Her books are guaranteed to keep you in your comfy armchair and read till the last page has been turned. Her writing keeps getting better and better every time she churns out another book.This one is not one of her Cobbled Court books, which is to my surprise. I depend on the Cobbled Court series to get me through another busy season of raising two ornery kids, but this book is even better. It is about Lucy coming home to Nilson's Bay, WI, since her older sister, Alice, died unexpectedly. As part of Alice's will, Lucy has to live in the cottage that she has spent her entire adult life running away from for eight weeks before she can sell it and go back to Washington, D.C. where her boss just became the elected president of the US.Lucy reluctantly stays in Nilson's Bay for the required eight weeks to finish out her requirements before heading to the White House to resume the frantic pace of her harried life as an campaign manager. She meets up with the FOA girls, who happened to be Friends of Alice as the town dubbed them and with their help, she learns how to quilt. And along the way, she learns more about her sister, who left a gaping hole in folks' lives than Lucy has ever realized. She realized that she doesn't have the sole right to miss her sister as Alice has befriended everyone in Nilson's Bay, even her own lawyer, Peter, who also happened to be Lucy's high school crush.This is a lovely novel about a woman who was forced to take several steps back to step away from a busy and storied career to realize that life is more than just winning campaigns. It is also a great story of how a woman finds the small joys in life are actually the big things as well.I rely on Marie Bostwick to produce these gems of a novel and if I have to be really honest, this one is my favorite yet.

Branfield A truly unforgettable journey of grace and healing, The Second Sister by Marie Bostwick is a very emotional novel of family, forgiveness and friendship. It is also a heartfelt and engaging story about making peace with the past and letting go of mistakes in order to move on and embrace the future.Lucy Toomey has spent her entire adult life avoiding her small hometown in Wisconsin. Despite her older sister Alice’s numerous pleas to visit, she has not returned home in the eight years since her parents’ deaths. When she learns that Alice been hospitalized and is in serious condition, she drops everything to rush to her sister’s side, but unfortunately Alice passes away while Lucy is still en route. Planning to leave as soon she settles her sister’s estate, Lucy is stunned to discover that the terms of Alice’s will stipulate she live in the family home for eight weeks in order to inherit or the house will go to a local animal rescue. She reluctantly remains in town where she eventually discovers startling truths about herself, her sister and their somewhat complicated relationship. Lucy also unexpectedly finds friendship and, quite possibly, love but will this be enough to change her mind about leaving the small close-knit community for good?Lucy lives life at a frantic pace and she allows herself very little time to think about anything other than her demanding career. Her childhood was spent in the shadow of her older, more accomplished and outgoing sister and she could never live up to her father’s expectations. In the aftermath of the tragic accident that left Alice mentally impaired, Lucy was overcome with guilt at the events of the day and she could not wait to leave her unhappy memories behind. Although she has achieved a measure of professional success, her personal life is devoid of friendship or love. Lucy and Alice talk daily, but Lucy only pays superficial attention to her sister’s rambling middle of the night phone calls and after Alice’s death, she comes to realize how little she knew about her sister or her life.While at first Lucy resents taking time away from her career, she slowly begins to appreciate the slower pace of life. Of course, she still plans to leave as soon as possible, but in the meantime, she enjoys getting reconnecting with old school friend Peter Swenson, his extended family and other people from her past. When she decides to make a quilt in her sister’s memory, Alice’s close friends, Rinda, Daphne and Celia, reluctantly offer their assistance, and Lucy is pleasantly surprised to discover how much she likes spending time with the three women. Despite her new found contentment, her departure date is fast approaching and Lucy clings tightly to her decision to leave. But will a shocking revelation change her plans?The Second Sister is a poignant and thought-provoking novel that is also quite uplifting. The storyline is complex but easy to relate to and the characters are appealing and sympathetic. The setting is charming and Marie Bostwick brings the small Wisconsin town vibrantly to life. It is a very heartwarming story of reconciliation and grace that is sure to resonate with readers of who enjoy novels that are not afraid to delve into the complexities of real life relationships.I received a complimentary copy for review.
19 of 22 people found the following review helpful. Bostwick is an elevator author whose elating prose lifts readers' spirits to skyscraper heights By L. Dean Murphy Many bestselling books seem to be material from network news: murder, riots, terrorism, corruption, jets plunging to earth.Occasionally, though, networks feature uplifting items: amputees running marathons, a child overcoming cancer, Secret Santas paying layaway bills. Such is the case for Marie Bostwick, bestselling author of the Cobbled Court Quilts series and other inspirational fiction. Her novels inspire readers by showing how characters overcome adversity.Following Apart at the Seams, Bostwick introduces Lucy Toomey, the go-to gal for the 2016 underdog presidential candidate. Lucy "had been the second sister, forever falling behind." She's now the classic overachiever, 17 months younger than Alice, their father's favorite. Alice had saved fifth-grader Lucy when thin ice broke through, but where was Lucy when "A near-drowning accident at the age of 18 had permanently altered my sister's intellect, abilities, and personality"?Alice now frequently makes maudlin late-night calls, begging Lucy to come to tiny Nilson's Bay, Wisconsin. Perhaps from guilt, each month Lucy deposits funds to Alice's account and takes her on exotic vacations, but the only thing Alice wants is for her younger sister to visit. Lucy, however, has no intention of returning to the hamlet she hates.It's the eve of the election, Lucy's chance to work in the White House, and she puts in 18-hour days. She justifies that there's no time to visit, until Alice dies from an overdose. It's the second time the second sister wasn't there to save Alice. Time for Lucy to take a little guilt trip. She returns to the lakeside cottage Alice had inherited from their parents and learns that Nilson's Bay has morphed into a resort town. The Toomey home sits on prime waterfront acreage, property that Alice bequeathed to her only sibling--upon the stipulation that Lucy lives there.Thickening the mix are Daphne, Rinda and Celia, eclectic "Friends of Alice" who have little in common, besides an interest in quilt-making. Initially the "FOA" reject Lucy, who tries her hand at quilting--and nearly slices it off with a rotary cutter. But the FOA trio can't hold a grudge against Alice's sister, though Rinda is "able to find plenty of other reasons not to like" her.Marie Bostwick is an elevator author whose elating prose lifts readers' spirits to skyscraper heights. Regardless of gender or interest in quilting, any Bostwick book is Hallmark card-like inspiration that helps anyone ease through a difficult situation. There's little wonder why she has earned the coveted title of New York Times bestselling author.Reviewed by L. Dean Murphy for Bookreporter
