A Soft Place to Land by Susan Rebecca White
5.0
This was my first book by Susan Rebecca White! I enjoyed, as always reading about the South since a native, having lived in Atlanta for many years. I look forward to White's new book, A Place at the Table. Two half-sisters from Atlanta who are separated after their parents’ death in a plane crash, having lived with other relatives. If you have a sister, you will love it!
For more than ten years, Naomi and Phil Harrison enjoyed a marriage of heady romance, tempered only by the needs of their children. But on a vacation alone, the couple perishes in a flight over the Grand Canyon.
After the funeral, their daughters, Ruthie and Julia, are shocked by the provisions in their will. Spanning nearly two decades, the sisters' journeys take them from their familiar home in Atlanta to sophisticated bohemian San Francisco, a mountain town in Virginia, the campus of Berkeley, and lofts in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
As they heal from loss, search for love, and begin careers, their sisterhood, once an oasis, becomes complicated by resentment, anger, and jealousy. It seems as though the echoes of their parents' deaths will never stop reverberating--until another shocking accident changes everything once again.
