Sisters Betsy and Avery have never met, but they have both spent their lives under the scrutiny of prying cameras and tabloid journalists. Their father, David Christie, was a charismatic senator and promising presidential candidate until infidelity destroyed his campaign and his family’s life. In the aftermath, Betsy grieves her broken family, while Avery struggles with growing up estranged from her infamous father yet still exposed by the national spotlight. Years later, as David’s health declines, Betsy and Avery are forced to face their complicated feelings about him―and about each other. With delicacy and empathy, Nicholas Montemarano brings these sisters together in a parallel of grief and grace.The Senator’s Children brilliantly distills the American family under pressure.
My postal mark up book club book arrived in the mail!! YAY. I am looking forward to reading this! I am the THIRD one reading and marking it up! So much fun! This story intrigues me and is vastly different than the books I am currently reading, so I believe it will go quickly. I am so thankful for the thoughtful notes, add-ins and bookmarks my fellow readers leave for each other. It makes the experience so much more fun! Off to get my pen and some coffee and read this book.
Peace.
UPDATE
I finished this quickly…..it was eh 3 out of 5 for me. The story premise is good, it gets lost somewhere in the middle and the ending change style is horrible. It needed more. I think the writing up until the last chapter and ending was okay and it was easily read, it just lacked depth. That being said it was a ton of fun to read my fellow readers comments and opinions, so that alone is worth the read.
I send this out by the 30th and then wait for my next and final read, before my book heads back to me!
I am sure hoping we do this again. It really is a good way to connect!
