THE GOOD SISTER

"The novel's three sisters...ache on the page with honesty. In her debut novel, Kain writes bravely and beautifully, respecting the reader's capacity to respond with openness and a raw understanding of the turns life may take and to hold judgment as nuanced characters discover the many facets of their own complex beings." --Booklist (starred review)

"A haunting, dark and at times harshly beautiful exploration of the scars left by hurt and loss." --Kirkus

"While having Sarah speak from beyond the grave gives this novel a touch of the supernatural, Kain keeps her story and everyone in it grounded in reality. The author offers profound reflections on life, death, and the bonds of family, and as the suspense surrounding Sarah's death intensifies, readers will find it hard to put this novel down." --Publishers Weekly

"Fans of emotional powerhouses such as Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones (Little, Brown, 2002) and Jay Asher's Thirteen Reasons Why (Penguin, 2007) will enjoy the novel's insight into the complexities of sisterhood, adolescence, and the "good" and "bad" behavior therein." --School Library Journal

"Haunting and compelling." --Allison van Diepen, author of Snitch and Takedown

"Rachel and Asha's lives and loves make for fascinating reading as the mystery of what really happened to their sister Sarah slowly unravels and threatens to destroy them. I couldn't put this book down." --Jennifer Echols, author of Dirty Little Secret and Playing Dirty

"The Good Sister is a deeply felt novel. Its narrators, the three sisters (all of whom are not only good but also beautiful), are so wonderful. It breaks my heart every time I turn a page." --Paul Griffin, author of Burning Blue
