[Sweeney Sisters 01] • Her Sister's Shoes

Set in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Packed with Southern charm and memorable characters

Her Sister’s Shoes is the story of three sisters—Samantha, Jackie, and Faith—who struggle to balance the demands of career and family while remaining true to themselves.

Samantha Sweeney has always been the glue that holds her family together, their go-to girl for love and support. When an ATV accident leaves her teenage son in a wheelchair, she loses her carefully constructed self-control.

In the after-gloom of her dreaded fiftieth birthday and the discovery of her husband’s infidelity, Jackie realizes she must reconnect with her former self to find the happiness she needs to move forward.

Faith lacks the courage to stand up to her abusive husband. She turns to her sisters for help, placing all their lives at risk.

In the midst of their individual challenges, the Sweeney sisters must cope with their mother’s mental decline. Is Lovie in the early stages of Alzheimer’s, or is her odd behavior normal for a woman her age? No one, including Lovie, understands her obsession with a rusty key she wears around her neck.

For fans of Dorothea Benton Frank, Her Sister’s Shoes is a contemporary women’s novel that explores and proves the healing power of family.

This is a new release of an edition originally published by Leisure Time Books.

### From the Author

I spent the summers of my youth on Murrells Inlet, in the upper part of the Lowcountry of South Carolina, at the tip of Garden City Beach where the mouth of the inlet meets the ocean. We dug for clams in the gooey black mud and caught crabs using hand lines--a piece of string attached to a chicken neck. Mostly, my friends and I raced our johnboats up and down the waterways--skiing and hydrosliding--annoying the weekly renters with our rambunctious behavior. 

When the ocean was calm and the fishing reports promising, my father took us deep-sea fishing. We left the dock in the wee hours of the morning in order to make it to the Gulf Stream by sunrise. My favorite part of the trip was hearing the diesel engines rumble to life and vibrate beneath me as I slumbered away in the cabin below. Some days we never got a bite. Other days we returned with a cockpit full of tuna, wahoo, and dolphin.

I wrote this novel in memory of my father, Elbert, who shared his love of the water and taught me how to cook everything we caught.
