My Sister, My Sorrow

by Elizabeth Benning

Book Overview

Beth Manning's older sister, Janna, is perfect. At least that's how it seems to Beth. More than anything else, Beth wishes for something to make her as special as Janna. Then, after her 14th birthday, Beth gets her wish in a terrible way: she develops leukemia. Eventually, Beth is able to show her sister and herself that perfection isn't nearly as important as love.

Customer Reviews

Beautifully written story about life and death.

This book was written by Bebe Faas Rice, under the pen name of Elizabeth Benning. A very touching story about life, death, the importance of family, and hope. Beth, who is diagnosed with leukemia, is a refreshingly likable, honest young woman.Bebe Faas Rice has written numerous other fine novels, including "The Year The Wolves Came", "The Listeners", and the "Class Trip" novels.
