Sisters, like secrets, are best kept close. Penny and Hattie, orphaned sisters in a small town, are best friends, bound together to the point of knots. But Penny, at the mercy of her brutal husband, is desperate for a fresh start. Willing to do anything for her older sister, Hattie agrees to help. A match is struck and a fire burns Penny’s marriage to the ground. With her husband gone, Penny is free, and the sisters, it seems, get away with murder. But freedom comes at a cost. More than a year after the fire, a charming young man comes to town. Hattie and Penny quickly bring him into the fold and into their hearts but their love for him threatens the delicate balance. Soon long-held resentments, sibling rivalry, and debts unpaid boil over, and the bonds of sisterhood begin to snap. As one little lie grows into the next, the sisters’ secrets will unravel, eroding their lives until only a single, horrible truth remains: You owe me. A compelling novel of suspense from a talented new voice, Sister of Mine asks us to consider the bonds of family, what it takes to commit the unthinkable, and how far you’ll go to protect the ones you love.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Showcases the author’s genuine flair for character and narrative-driven storytelling. The result is a compelling and entertaining novel that is unreservedly recommended for community library collections.” —Midwest Book Reviews
“Riveting…The women’s complicated relationship—made up of shifting emotions of rage, jealousy, guilt, grief, and profound love—is repeatedly tested. Meanwhile, the question of what really happened to Buddy hovers over the novel. The plot…moves swiftly toward the shocking answer to that question.” —Publishers Weekly
“Andi Arndt, a remarkable narrator, emphasizes Penny’s complex emotions as she attempts keep the truth hidden. Listeners will be captivated by these unique characters and their secrets.” —AudioFile
“By turns taut and lyrical, often startling, always unpredictable, Laurie Petrou writes about the thorny challenges and gauzy longings of sisterhood and parenthood with brash immediacy and perilous insight. This book is a cracked mirror—sharp, disquieting, impossible to look away, refracting our worst fears and best hopes back at us.” —Elan Mastai, author of All Our Wrong Todays
“Laurie Petrou writes with stunning elegance to weave a unique and complex story of sisterhood and secrets that ends with a twist you won’t see coming…A fabulous read from start to finish.” —Wendy Walker, author of Emma in the Night
“Mesmerizing and powerful…Dark and riveting, flirting at time with a hint of the gothic, it is a page turner that plunges deep into the wild and uncharted territory of family, need, and loyalty, and the strange, mirror-link of love and hatred. This book burns with the intensity of the sisters it follows, who you will love and hate and never forget.” —Grace O’Connell, author of Be Ready for the Lightning
“An addictive portrait of a fascinating, complicated, and, in the end, shocking relationship between two sisters. Beautifully written, insightful, and thought provoking, with twists I did not see coming. A thrilling read.” —Cecilia Ekbäck, author of Wolf Winter
“I devoured Laurie Petrou’s wonderful novel in a single sitting. Laurie’s prose is stunning, but it was the complicated relationship between the two sisters and the secret that threatens to destroy them that had me furiously turning the pages. A fantastic debut novel.” —Hollie Overton, author of Baby Doll
