Kirkus Tent

Sisterhood is a bond unlike any other—fierce, loving, and, at times, filled with tension. Julia Phillips’ Bear and Betsy Lerner’s Shred Sisters delve into the complexities of sibling relationships, set against backdrops of both the natural and emotional wilderness. Bear tells the story of two sisters struggling to escape the limits of their isolated lives on a remote island, their dreams complicated by the arrival of a mysterious bear. Shred Sisters follows Amy and Olivia as they navigate the stormy waters of family instability, mental illness, and unconditional love. Both novels explore the unbreakable—and often tumultuous—bonds that define sisterhood and the search for identity.
