About this item
"This story of two sisters, each broken in her own way, is as unflinching as it is compassionate. I was pulled in from the first page." - Marisa de los Santos, New York Times bestselling author of Falling TogetherFor her previous novels (Things We Didn't Say, The Life You've Imagined, Real Life & Liars) , author Kristina Riggle has garnered fabulous reviews and established herself as a rapidly rising star of contemporary women's fiction. In Keepsake, she explores that most complicated of relationships, as two sisters raised by a hoarder deal with old hurts and resentments, and the very different paths their lives have taken. As always, Riggle approaches important topics poignantly and honestly - including hoarding and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in her remarkable Keepsake - while writing with real emotional power and compassion about families and their baggage.
