From Library Journal:
Two sisters struggle to overcome a crippling past in Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Franks's first novel. Augusta is the golden girl, attractive and successful; Nellie the clownish, awkward sister who never left home. When mother Lydia dies, Augusta returns to the family's historic home in the Hudson Valley. Lydia's legacy of 40 years' worth of diaries sends the sisters on a treasure hunt through the past in an attempt to come to terms with the secrets that have warped their lives. The truth offers them a chance to finally grow up. Augusta and Nellie are quirky, strong, well-realized characters whose transformation gives the novel real mo mentum. Vivid prose makes the skillfully evoked childhood memories hauntingly real, giving the story added depth. A mov ing and rewarding novel. Recommended. Literary Guild selection.
