    About this audiobook

    Sometimes the friend you’ve always needed is the sister you’ve always had.

    Throughout the years, sisters Gracie and Juliette Bennett have let life’s changes pull them in opposite directions. But when their beloved grandmother Mimi passes away, they’re drawn back together in the most unexpected way. Set to inherit the family home, a charming Craftsman with an overgrown garden and lush fruit trees near the beach in Santa Barbara, the estranged sisters learn there’s a catch: the house can be theirs, but only if they agree to live in it for one year—together.

    Suddenly Gracie, a pragmatic paralegal who’s always stayed close to home, and Juliette, an intrepid recent NYU grad in search of the next thrill, are living under one roof. Forced to reexamine their relationship, they find themselves confronting their pasts and bonding over love, heartbreak, and deeply held secrets. Soon they’ll discover whether a sister’s love is what they need to get them through their darkest hours—and if their grandmother’s clever plan can preserve more than just a piece of family history. It just might preserve the friendship of a lifetime…and reveal the sisters and women they were always meant to be.

    Revised edition: This edition of A Sister's Place includes editorial revisions.

      A Sister's PlaceSavannah PageMy Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️▫️▫️Publisher Lake Union Publishing Publish Date February 14, 2017SUMMARYHow would you feel if you are in your mid 20's had to live in the same house with your sister for a year? That's what happened to sisters Gracie and Juliette Bennett. They would inherit their grandmother's, Mimi's house in Santa Barbara, California if they lived in it together for one year. This house, at 1402 Laguna Lane was been in their family for sixty-seven years. The girls loved this house because of all their fabulous childhood memories of sleepovers and holiday visits. But Gracie and Juliette were as different as night and day. One lives in New York City and and the other lives in Santa Barbara, California. One had a responsible career as a paralegal, and one was happy doing odd jobs like tutoring or assisting a caterer. They are different in everything from temperament to their choice of their favorite ice cream flavor. This challenge will test their will, their character, their abilities and their preconceptions. The sisters have been out of touch ever since going off to college years before. With the girls separated by thousands of miles there has been no sense of camaraderie, no shared secrets and no late night calls. Mimi's so much wanted her beautiful granddaughters to renew and re-establish their bond. She wrote them five heart-felt and encouraging letters-like only a grandmother can do-for the girls to open over the course of the next five seasons. The girls opened their first letter in Spring 2015. It encouraged to Gracie and Juliette to appreciate one of life's greatest experiences-sisterhood. REVIEWIf you have a sister you would enjoy this sweet book. It's a heart-warming story about what it really means to be a sister. It's about maintaining and cultivating that sister bond, and always being there for each other.The characters Gracie and Juliette are well-developed and though different, both are very likable characters. The setting in Santa Barbara and particularly, Mimi's house on Laguna Lane sounds perfect, almost to perfect. Each chapter in A Sister's Place is alternately narrated by Gracie and Juliette. Within each chapter, the girls often flashbacks to childhood memories or past experiences. I had some trouble keeping track of all the transitions. I often found myself having to flip back to determine which sister was narrating, particularly in the first half of the book. Overall, I found A Sister's Place a very sweet book, but a little slow. Thanks to Netgalley and Lake Union Publishing for an advance reading copy of this book in exchange for a honest review.
