Imagine for a moment that you’re sixteen, the only daughter and life is great. Now how would you feel if your parents told you they’d had another child years before, given her up for adoption and now that child wanted a chance to know her birth parents?

For Josey Muller, this wasn’t pretend…it’s her life. Suddenly, she’s not the only girl and her older sister is all her parents can talk about. How is she supposed to be thrilled when her entire world has gone topsy-turvy? Is it even possible she might enjoy having a sister?

Tender and heartfelt, The Other Sister is brimming with emotion. Josey’s struggle to cope with the news and find her place is touching. I found myself laughing and crying with Josey. Entirely relatable and eye-opening, The Other Sister offers readers a chance to see behind the scenes of adoption reunions.
