The Sisters Hemingway - by Annie England Noblin (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

For fans of Susan Mallery, Kristan Higgins, or Susan Wiggs, this is a novel for anyone who loves stories about sisters, dogs, and family secrets.

The Sisters Hemingway: they couldn't be more different...or more alike.

The Hemingway Sisters of Cold River, Missouri are local legends. Raised by a mother obsessed with Ernest Hemingway, they were named after the author's four wives--Hadley, Pfeiffer, Martha, and Mary. The sisters couldn't be more different--or more alike. Now they're back in town, reunited to repair their fractured relationships.

Hadley is the poised, polished wife of a senator.

Pfeiffer is a successful New York book editor.

Martha has skyrocketed to Nashville stardom.

They each have a secret--a marriage on the rocks, a job lost, a stint in rehab...and they haven't been together in years.

Together, they must stay in their childhood home, faced with a puzzle that may affect all their futures. As they learn the truth of what happened to their mother--and their youngest sister, Mary--they rekindle the bonds they had as children, bonds that have long seemed broken. With the help of neighbors, friends, love interests old and new--and one endearing and determined Basset Hound--the Sisters Hemingway learn that the happiness that has appeared so elusive may be right here at home, waiting to be claimed.
