The Sisters Chase

The Sisters Chase by Sarah Healy            Audio Book 9 hours, 29 minutes   Hardback Book:  304 pages                  

Very well written.  Did you ever notice writers sometimes have a catchphrase they seem to use over and over throughout a book?    Sarah Healy’s was “Mary nodded.”   Every time that line showed up, “ Mary nodded”  I went,  “Pa rum pa pum pum.”  J     Holiday humor and right on time.   J   I did like this story and it is one of those pageturners that you want to keep reading to find out what happens next?    It really is such a well developed story about a dysfunctional family.   The mother, Diane, does her best to look out for her girls, then something happens to take her out of the picture whereas the girls are left to fend for themselves and Mary proves a very resourceful girl even if she has led a very sheltered life.   Mary does her best to survive regardless what that takes and the girl is smart and doesn’t miss an opportunity.   Hannah, 14 years younger than Mary is a small child throughout most of the book and is a sweet child till she hits puberty.   Lots of action, Mary is such an escape artist she outodes Houdini.   It’s a book about family, it’s a book about road trips, it’s a book about survival and has some scenarios almost “Thelma and Louise” like.     I really liked this book.   I think you will, too.
