Book Overview
"This one is hard to put down." -Publishers Weekly
Who can keep a secret better than a sister?
As long as she can remember, it's been Nicola and her older, charismatic sister Viv against the world. Abandoned by their parents when Viv was in high school, the two survived their childhood thanks to Viv's grit and determination. They turned out pretty well, too: Viv is a successful surgeon, happily married, living with three enormous dogs in a big house in Nashville, Tennessee. Nicola's choices have been less traditional, but the 26-year-old loves her itinerant life as a mural painter.
Then comes the midnight phone call we all dread. There's been a car wreck that leaves Viv widowed and unconscious. Nicola drops everything to get to Viv's side.
Before that call, Nicola would have said that she and Viv were as close as sisters can be. Sure they couldhave spent more time together, but they talked every week. Nicola thought she knew all about their past, their parents, and the shape their future lives would take. But as she cares for Viv's house and the dogs and waits for Viv to wake, Nicola discovers that her sister has been concealing a tangle of astonishing secrets, mysterious half-truths, and a shared history that Nicola never imagined.
Set in 1993, She Taught Me Everything explores the family secrets, the unshakable bond between sisters, and the difficult choices that can redefine the entire shape of a family.
