"Chamberlain's powerful story is a page-turner to the very end." -Library Journal
Riley MacPherson has spent her entire life believing that her older sister Lisa committed suicide as a teenager. It was a belief that helped shape her own childhood and that of her brother. It shaped her view of her family and their dynamics. It influenced her entire life. Now, more than twenty years later, her father has passed away and she's in New Bern, North Carolina, cleaning out his house when she finds evidence that what she has always believed is not the truth. Lisa is alive. Alive and living under a new identity. But why, exactly, was she on the run all those years ago? What secrets are being kept now, and what will happen if those secrets are revealed? As Riley works to uncover the truth, her discoveries will put into question everything she thought she knew about her family. Riley must decide what the past means for her present, and what she will do with her newfound reality. Told with Diane Chamberlain's powerful prose and illumination into the human heart and soul, The Silent Sister is an evocative novel of love, loss, and the bonds among siblings.
"Enthralling and gripping...Chamberlain has a gift for telling stories about families whose good intentions go awry in difficult circumstances. Her characters are always portrayed with an understanding that sometimes life's most tragic mistakes require heroic strength to survive." -Book Reporter

UNCOVERING THE SECRETS OF THE PAST
By Laurel-Rain Snow
Riley MacPherson's family has suffered numerous losses, and the troubled history that seemingly hovers over them all is about to get a lot worse. Leaving behind her stable life in Durham, where she is a school counselor, she takes a leap into the past, returning home to New Bern after her father's death, to settle up his estate. There she finds her angry brother Danny living in his reclusive trailer in the forest, and even though she tries to reach out to him, he keeps her at arm's length.
The task of going through her father's things will be hers alone, as Danny refuses to be part of it. An old friend of her mother's, Jeannie Lyons, is an irritating addition to her life as she sorts through everything, and between Jeannie and her daughter Christine, who are readying the home for estate sales, etc., Riley feels overwhelmed and annoyed with their very presence.
But as Riley begins to search through her father's effects, more questions appear, and she begins to wonder about the family's hidden secrets and the lies that stood between her and the family she longed for. And suddenly, her connection to Jeannie changes, as more is revealed.
What is the truth behind older sister Lisa's supposed suicide? What lies under the surface of Lisa's privileged life as a music prodigy? How did their father manage to change the course of all of their lives by one series of actions? And who is Jade, living across the country in an alternate life?
Riley's story is narrated in her first person voice, in the year 2013, while Jade's narrative takes place in the 1990s, following one secret night that changed all of their lives.
How will their lives reconnect, and what threats still await them all? A wonderfully unputdownable story, The Silent Sister is a testament to the strength of family attachments in spite of the secrets that lie beneath the facades. Set in North Carolina, occasionally veering off into Virginia and then to San Diego and Seattle, I followed the characters on their journeys. I loved this story, and would recommend it for all Chamberlain fans, and for any who enjoy a good story of family secrets, lies, and deceptions. 5.0 stars.

Chamberlain's best
By Joann L. Scanlon
. FABULOUS! I have read all of Chamberlain's books. I am a voracious and eclectic reader and I must say this is one of my all-time favorites. I read It in two afternoons and only put it down to sleep. I felt very caring of Riley's predicament and was happy when she began to figure out the mysteriy she was facing. I couldn't believe that each one she solved only brought another. And some of the answers were even more confusing Wonderfully clever plotting.
I am in awe of a writer who can keep me on the edge of my seat. When I get away from the book for a meal or to sleep I can't wait to get back to it. I love learning about the things Chamberlain must learn within the scope of her books from concert violin music to trailer parks and she has such empathy toward the characters that I hardly knew who to root for.
I will recommend this book highly to my friends as well as both book clubs I belong to. ONE WARNING! You don't want to start it if you don't have the time to immerse yourself in it. I'm betting you'll have the same experience I did where the world falls away as you turn the pages. Happy reading!

Blah, Just blah
By LAURI CRUMLEY COATES
I've read some of Chamberlain's previous work, and found them to be either really good or just so-so. Sadly, this one is of the second caliber. While Riley is a likeable character, the plot is weak and predictable, and the sister wasn't worth the trouble. I didn't even care what her story was, and found it tough to even finish the story. Try some of her other works, there are better ones to be sure.
