Siblings

"I do not believe that the accident of birth makes people sisters and brothers. It makes them siblings. Gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood are conditions people have to work at. It's a serious matter. You compromise, you give, you take, you stand firm, and you're relentless...And it is an investment. Sisterhood means if you happen to be in Burma and I happen to be in San Diego and I'm married to someone who is very jealous and you're married to somebody who is very possessive, if you call me in the middle of the night, I have to come." ~Maya Angelou

In my newest book, The Other Sister, Jefferson sisters Carla and Sanita are siblings who have never been close. But, when both face adversity they learn the work it takes to strengthen the bond of sisterhood to be worthwhile and that the love they have one another is greater than their differences.
