A very emotional content, It's superb! What an inspiring book. About sisters who encounter problems when their parents got divorce. We can see how people responded on this and I can say it is highly recommended. Thumbs up to the author.

When reading stories like this, I always wonder what makes one sister take the right path and one go astray if they, technically, lived through the same circumstances. I guess I'll have to read the whole book to find out. The alternating perspectives must provide a nice balance to the story.
Thank you for your moving review.

The story is full of emotions, hurt, sister love, healing, a difficult childhood and a lot of struggle.
The author wrote a wonderful book and the review complements it too.
Congratulations on Botd 🎉

This story of hope, family, and second chances is definitely a riveting read. The story of Sharon and Lisa, chronicling their journey as they wade through this life, full of disappointments, is a worthy read. Added in my to-read list. Congrats on the BOTD!

Looks like a moral family story. Both sisters, Sharon and Lisa, had to live with their single parent mom, who is tasked to grow both in a good way. Nice to know more, will read it in full, soon. Good review, Elvis Best. Thanks.

While it is so, very sweet that they were able to lean on each other, I am going to pass because I'm not a fan of memoirs.

The story of the two sisters is touching and the way the author makes the story heart-felt is awesome. Sharon and Lisa both went through parental separation but one of the sister turn out worse. This is a story to read. Nice review.

I don’t normally read true stories, the sample and your great review has me rethinking it. I’m a diabetic, became one later in life. I find myself using my diabetes as an excuse sometimes, just like their mother using it as an excuse for Lisa’s behavior.

It must have been really tough for Sharon and Lisa, most especially their mum. It couldn't have been easy doing the job of 2 people. It seems like a nice read that will make you reflect on life and one's self. Nice review, enjoyed reading it!

This is a motivating story. I liked it alot the review is wonderful. But i think the story was discussed much like a summary plot. But then it is good review and thanks for informing the viewers about this thought provoking book.

A family story many can relate to. I hope this has a happy ending. Also, I wonder if the memoir mentions some things from the mother's perspective. She must have gone through a lot. Thank you for your wonderful review.
