Book excerpt: A USA Today and Globe and Mail bestseller! A novel of survival, love, loss, triumph—and the sisters who changed fashion forever Antoinette and Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel know they’re destined for something better. Abandoned by their family at a young age, they’ve grown up under the guidance of nuns preparing them for simple lives as the wives of tradesmen or shopkeepers. At night, their secret stash of romantic novels and magazine cutouts beneath the floorboards are all they have to keep their dreams of the future alive. The walls of the convent can’t shield them forever, and when they’re finally of age, the Chanel sisters set out together with a fierce determination to prove themselves worthy to a society that has never accepted them. Their journey propels them out of poverty and to the stylish cafés of Moulins, the dazzling performance halls of Vichy—and to a small hat shop on the rue Cambon in Paris, where a boutique business takes hold and expands to the glamorous French resort towns. But the sisters’ lives are again thrown into turmoil when World War I breaks out, forcing them to make irrevocable choices, and they’ll have to gather the courage to fashion their own places in the world, even if apart from each other. “The Chanel Sisters explores with care the timeless need for belonging, purpose, and love, and the heart’s relentless pursuit of these despite daunting odds. Beautifully told to the last page.” —Susan Meissner, bestselling author of The Last Year of the War

The Little Book of Sisters will be a treasured keepsake for years to come. Introduction Sisterhood is a special kind of place Sisters have a special relationship quite unlike any other. Whether you are close or distant to your sister, there is something that unites you. It is the knowing that you both share a common place where you grew up in. It's a special kind of community filled with childhood memories and family secrets that only sisters really share. Sisterhood is a unique kind of neighbourhood. Within this place sisters afford themselves a special kind of freedom, a freedom to share their inner thoughts, and be themselves to express their lightness and dark shadows. There is a kind of beauty in this place where sisters can be real. It's where expressing one's fears is acceptable, well, tolerated anyway. In the sisterhood, the rules are not the same as in most societies - sisters here feel safe to be themselves because deep down even if their sister drives her to want to strangle her, they both know that a special kind of love exists. In the outside world time waits for noone. Yet in the sisterhood, time can stand still. Husbands may come and go, friends grow up and move on, children too grow up and spread their wings. But sisters share a special place that time cannot change. Having a relationship that no matter what life may bring will always be there is heartwarming. In childhood, sisters teach each other great lessons, and the biggest lesson is sharing. Some sisters are very competitive for their parents affection and attention and this may follow on into adult life. Sisterhood is a hothouse for growth. It is where we sisters learn great lessons in life in the safety of this inside world. Sisters learn about sharing, about getting along with others, cooperation, fairness, patience, tolerance and love. If ever there was a place to gain wisdom it is in sisterhood.It often takes somes sisters to reach old age before they can fully appreciate each other. It is then that memories take on a new life. It is then that sisters reminisce of good and bad times, of childhood indiscretions, fights, and joyful times shared. There is a special place that outsiders can't fathom or fully understand. It's where two old ladies can sit on a porch or on the phone for hours, and laugh and smile and giggle and remember all the characters that inhabited their special neighbourhood. It's a place where they know their conversation won't bore the pants of each other. In the sisterhood, some things never die.

Book excerpt: No one knows you better than a sister—your dreams, your fears, your mistakes, and all your secrets. It was just that way when Jess and her older sister, Emily, were children. Born barely a year apart, they were deeply entwined, complementing each other in their differences. When Jess felt awkward and shy, Emily, the consummate big sister, was happy to take the lead. After a long estrangement, they’ve become close again. Jess moves into the comfortable Isle of Wight home Emily shares with her husband, step-daughter, and toddler. Any misgivings about the past are swept away and forgotten. And then, on New Year’s Eve, little Daisy disappears while in Jess’s care. Jess is in shock, unable to remember what happened. Emily, traumatized, watches helplessly as her life unravels. But as the search intensifies and the police detective’s questions grow more pointed, a different picture emerges. Behind the image of a seemingly happy family—Daisy’s doting teenage sister, Chloe, loving father and husband, James, and siblings Emily and Jess—there are devastating deceptions and long-ago choices that can never be unmade. And underlying everything is the story of what really happened to drive Emily and Jess apart years ago. Unfolding through shifting perspectives, Little Sister is a brilliantly plotted, dark, and constantly surprising tale of love, rivalry, and broken loyalty that reveals how far one sister might go to protect—or destroy—another . . .
