"What a beautiful novel about sisterhood, about art, about hearts broken and hearts mended. August or Forever will forever chime inside my own heart. " -Gayle Brandeis, author of My Life with the LincolnsTen-year-old Molly has always loved having a sister, but sisters are supposed to live together, right? Molly certainly thinks so. Unfortunately, her older half-sister Alison lives on a whole other continent. Their video chats are great, and Molly is thrilled when Alison' s hand-written letters arrive in the mail like surprise gifts. Still, it' s not enough, not compared to what other siblings have. That' s why when Molly finds out that Alison is finally coming to visit over the summer, she devises a plan she' s sure will get her sister to stay. But then Alison arrives with plans of her own, a fragile heart gets broken, and Molly stumbles upon a painful piece of her sister' s past. Molly has always loved having a sister, but this is the August when she' ll learn what it really means to be one.
