The Ill-Fated Sisters of Mableton

This heart-wrenching yet humorous novel shows how one decision can change a lifetime and how one moment can impact a destiny.

Myrtle Pontier shows up unannounced on her sister's doorstep with no explanation of why she's been gone almost all of her seventy-four years and no hint about why she is back. Agnes Haskell wrote off her sister long ago after the disturbing night that changed both their lives. The two sisters could not be more different, and their banter grows more testy with each challenge as they find forgiveness does not come easy.

With hilarious anecdotes and recipes for disaster, the sisters navigate dating, adult children, and pastimes. The secrets they keep from each other threaten to destroy them unless they can find mutual trust, hope for forgiveness, and respect for boundaries.

This is a story of sisterly love between two women who must unexpectedly confront the mistakes of their youth due to unforeseen circumstances, which crushed their lives so traumatically with one twist.
