The Sisters Chase
The hardscrabble Chase women—Mary, Hannah, and their mother Diane—have been eking out a living running a tiny seaside motel that has been in the family for generations, inviting trouble into their lives for just as long. Eighteen-year-old Mary Chase is a force of nature: passionate, beautiful, and free-spirited. Her much younger sister, Hannah, whom Mary affectionately calls “Bunny,” is imaginative, her head full of the stories of princesses and adventures that Mary tells to give her a safe emotional place in the middle of their troubled world.
But when Diane dies in a car accident, Mary discovers the motel is worth less than the back taxes they owe. With few options, Mary’s finely tuned instincts for survival kick in. As the sisters begin a cross-country journey in search of a better life, she will stop at nothing to protect Hannah. But Mary wants to protect herself, too, for the secrets she promised she would never tell—but now may be forced to reveal—hold the weight of unbearable loss. Vivid and suspenseful, The Sisters Chase is a whirlwind page-turner about the extreme lengths one family will go to find—and hold onto—love.
My Review
The Sisters Chase is an instant bestseller! Yes, you heard it here first. I read and finished this book in a matter of a few short hours. What makes this book such an incredible read? Well, it was Mary and Hannah (Bunny). There story felt so real. I could picture every location they traveled to as well as the people they met. To call them characters would be a disservice. Mary and Hannah were full of life.
The love between the sisters is one that only sisters can share. Mary being much older then Hannah could have resented being stuck with her younger sister instead of having a life of her own. Yet, she never felt this and only cared for Hannah's well being. They were like two princess who were on a grand journey to their happy ending. Long after you are done with this book, Mary and Hannah will stay with you.
