A Novel
by Lisa Gabriele
Georgia "Peachy" Archer always thought she was happy with her choices in life: quitting college, marrying young, raising two boys in the same small town where she grew up. But just as Peachy's life is beginning to settle into a careful routine, her sister's life begins to dangerously unravel.
Beth Archer chose a different life: fancy apartment in Manhattan, fancy friends, making lots of money. She's been on her own since she was a teenager, and she's still on her own, outgrowing dress styles and boyfriends faster than Peachy can inherit them. But on a visit home one weekend, Beth upends everything Peachy thought she knew about being happy.
In the tradition of Jennifer Weiner and Melissa Bank, The Almost Archer Sisters is a refreshingly honest portrait of sisterhood, motherhood, and female mayhem in its many states of grievance, grace, and forgiveness.
"This honest tale of passionate, mixed-up and forgiving families is hard to put down." - Publishers Weekly.
"Starred Review. A welcome addition to women's fiction, this uplifting novel about the power of family and forgiveness is highly recommended for all public libraries." - Library Journal.
"A richly crafted tale of redemption and reinvention that stands out from the crowd." - Kirkus Reviews.
