Thank you to Thomas Nelson for giving me a copy of Sister Dear in exchange for an honest review. I have followed Laura’s career as a writer from the beginning. Her books have always been enjoyable and have been great reads!  The story in Sister Dear is different from the past but in such a good way. Synopsis: Allie Marshall is getting her release from prison, and her freedom back.   Once she is out she can go about investigating who really committed the murder she went to prison for?  This crime has cost her ten years of her life.  Allie has no relationship with her daughter Caroline.  Her only visitor has been her sister Emma.  What happened?  Will Allie find the answers she is looking for and prove her innocence? Will Caroline be willing to give her mother another chance? My Thoughts: What a story!  I could not put it down.  Laura has such a way of crafting a story that makes you want to find out what will happen...

The book is The Opposite of Everyone.  It is an interesting tale if I do say so myself, of a mother daughter journey!

Paula thinks nothing of it at the time and then someone new come...

What are you most judge-y about? Does being judge-y show you have discernment, standards and ideals, or does it illustrate elitism, insecurity, and a narrowness of mind?   Does being judge-y show you have discernment, standards and ideals, or does it illustrate elitism, insecurity, and a narrowness of mind? My father was in the rag trade; I’m judge-y about fabric. I don’t care if Rayon is currently resurgent. It is unwelcome in my wardrobe. I’ve never been able to order clothes from a catalog or website because I need to feel the weave, touch the fibers and see if the design is woven or printed. Don’t tell me I should eschew design for durability or renounce style for sustainability. And I’m most certainly not sleeping on sheets made from repurposed tires or recycled candy wrappers even if it’s good for the planet. I will help the planet in other ways, but I’m sleeping on high-thread count all-cotton sateen. If they want...
