"Sally Hepworth, the author of The Mother-In-Law, delivers a knock-out of a novel about the lies that bind two sisters. From the outside, everyone might think Fern and Rose are as close as twin sisters can be: Rose is the responsible one, with a home and a husband and a fierce desire to become a mother. Fern is the quirky one, the free spirit, the librarian who avoids social interaction and whom the world might just describe as truly odd. But the sisters are devoted to one another and Rose has always been Fern's protector from the time they were small. Fern needed protecting because their mother was a true sociopath who hid her true nature from the world, and only Rose could see it. Fern always saw the good in everyone. Years ago, Fern did something very, very bad. And Rose has never told a soul. When Fern decides to help her sister achieve her heart's desire of having a baby, Rose realizes with growing horror that Fern might make choices that can only have a terrible outcome. What Rose doesn't realize is that Fern is growing more and more aware of the secrets Rose, herself, is keeping. And that their mother might have the last word after all. Spine tingling, creepy, utterly compelling and unpredictable, The Good Sister is about the ties that bind sisters together...and about the madness that lurks where you least expect it"--

Stephanie Wrobel"A dark, shocking, and unputdownable thriller debut about a mother and daughter--and the lengths to which a daughter will go to find independence. There is always a special bond between mothers and daughters--but sometimes it goes horribly wrong. For eighteen years, Rose Gold believed she was chronically sick. She thought she needed the feeding tube, the surgeries, and the wheelchair. She thought her mother, Patty, was her guardian angel. Turns out her mom is just a really good liar. Patty was sentenced to five years in prison for mistreating Rose Gold as a child. When Patty gets out, Rose Gold, now a grown woman, decides her mother has paid her dues and invites Patty to move in with her. After all, Rose Gold is a mother herself now. She has a beautiful baby boy, so she understands how tough parenting can be. And Patty claims all she wants is to reconcile with her daughter and help care for her brand-new grandson. But Rose Gold knows her mother so very well. Patty won't rest until she has her darling Rose Gold back under her thumb. Which is a smidge inconvenient, because Rose Gold wants to be free of Patty forever. Who will get her way? Mother or daughter? And in the end, what will that mean?"--
