My Sister’s Prayer: Review by Susan Scott Ferrell

My Sister’s Prayer – A Work of Art!

My Sister's PrayerIt’s been a long several months, but the time has finally come! My Sister’s Prayer, Book Two in The Cousins of the Dove series is here. Co-authors Mindy Starns Clark and Leslie Gould have once again outdone themselves and My Sister’s Prayer is a lovely, beautiful sequel.

My Sister’s Prayer tracks two stories: One in modern-day, and the other set in 1704. Both involve a tale of two sisters.

Modern-day sisters Maddee and Nicole are reconnecting after Nicole has a series of unfortunate events: Drug addiction and a horrific car accident she is now recovering from. But as Nicole convalesces, there are mysteries to uncover – a man in the shadows that Maddee discovers one night, and the trauma they are both still dealing with since childhood.

Celeste and Berta Talbot, sisters from 1704, are on quite a journey of their own. The normally level-headed Celeste has decided to follow her heart and make a break for the colonies. Unbeknownst to her, her little sister Berta has been kidnapped and is now aboard the same ship as Celeste! As Celeste soon finds out, there are mysteries for the sister duo to solve in the New World.

I was given My Sister’s Prayer in exchange for my honest review. While possible to read it as a stand-alone, I highly recommend reading Book One (My Brother’s Crown) first – I guarantee you will not be disappointed! With My Sister’s Prayer, the Starns Clark and Gould team has hit yet another one out of the park. The characters are charming, engaging, witty, and well thought out. The reader is moved effortlessly back and forth between 1704 and present-day. My Sister’s Prayer is a true work of art and I am now counting down the days to Book Three!
