Publisher Description
Jillian Thatcher has spent most of her life playing the family peacemaker, caught in the middle between her driven, talented older sister and her younger, spotlight-stealing twin sisters. Then on the night of her engagement party, a cancer diagnosis threatens to once again steal her chance to shine.
Now, Jillian's on the road to recovery after finally finishing chemo and radiation, but residual effects of the treatment keep her from reclaiming her life as she'd hoped. And just when her dreams might be falling into place, a life-altering revelation from her husband sends her reeling again.
Will Jillian ever achieve her own dreams, or will she always be "just Jillian," the less-than Thatcher sister? Can she count on her sisters as she tries to step into a stronger place, or are they stuck in their childhood roles forever?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Vogt continues her Thatcher Sisters series (after Things I Never Told You) in this touching tale that focuses on Jillian, the middle sister, who feels like she'll always be "just Jillian." At age 33, she has just finished chemotherapy and radiation treatment for breast cancer, but still feels residual effects that are changing her life physically and psychologically. Johanna, her older sister, offers advice but little more as she struggles with her own job and love life; Payton, her younger sister, is busy with coaching JV volleyball, taking classes to acquire her teacher's license, and figuring out her relationship with boyfriend Zach. Jillian's husband, Geoff, supports her, but on the topic of starting a family, he is surprisingly (and frustratingly) reticent. As Jillian digs into the reasons for his silence, long-buried secrets surface. Fans of the Thatcher Sisters series will enjoy hearing from Jillian, who had previously remained in the background, and discovering her wise, vulnerable voice. Any reader of inspirational romance will enjoy this realistic story of overcoming adversity and tending to long-ignored familial wounds.
Customer Reviews
This is an incredible Women’s Fiction book.
I enjoyed getting back into the story of Jillian, Payton, and Johanna. In this second book Jillian is the main focus. I am amazed at how well the author is able to present all the different dynamics of this family. Each of the sisters are still working through their own emotional issues. But at the same time they are trying to figure out how to be better sisters with each other.
The depth of these characters is great. The intricacies of their problems and the journeys they are taking to work through them definitely kept my interest. I look forward to seeing what comes next for these women.
