The Fault Between Us by Stephanie Landsem

 

1959. Claire, Bridget, and Frannie Reilly are as close as sisters can be. Though their mother left when they were young, their loving father raised them with everything they could want. But when Claire marries a handsome cowboy and settles out west, a thousand miles away, the sisters’ strong bond begins to unravel.

Claire struggles to adjust to a life utterly unlike her upbringing, and surprising revelations about her husband’s past make her wonder if she’s made a terrible mistake. With a new baby and a shoestring budget, the last thing she needs is her family’s interference.

Sensing something isn’t right, Bridget takes a temporary nursing assignment in Yellowstone, promising her father she’ll bring Claire home—with or without her husband. When Frannie, the rebellious youngest sister, is sent along in hopes it will corral her behavior, the Reilly sisters reunite on the eve of a seismic event that rips Yellowstone apart, tests their survival, and exposes the ever-widening rift in their relationship.

Based on real events of the 1959 Hebgen Lake earthquake and inspired by true stories,
The Fault Between Us is a suspenseful exploration of the bonds of sisterhood, the depths of family drama, and how hidden wounds can only heal when they’re brought into the light.

My Review


 

This is such a great read, it does make you think about what is really important!
A read that is fictional but based on 1959 Hebgen Lake earthquake! A beautiful part of our country, Yelowstone, full of wildlife and Old Faithful, but danger does lurk here, and this is a story of when a big disaster happens on an active volcano field.
We have three sisters, family, also abandonment, and dealing with the effects. This is also a beautiful love story, a husband and wife, and a father who really doesn't want his girls to grow up and make new lives.
There is loss here, even before the disaster, and we follow this family while wondering if any of them will survive? There is such devastation, almost unimaginable, and the author does a great job of describing what actually happening.
Such a great book to get lost in, the pages flew!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Tyndale House, and was not required to give a positive review.
