Sisters in the Wind: A Good Morning America Book Club Pick

This book was good for discussion, and nothing about it was so objectionable or disturbing or strong that the book would not relate to a wide range of reader. The story follows Lucy, whom the reader learns is a foster child on the run from somebody. She meets strangers while working at her diner that want to help her. She isn't sure whether to accept her help. Through flashback, the reader learns more about why she is on the run, who she is running away from, and other aspects of her life that led her towards danger. This book attempts to merge a sort of traditional thriller book with information about the struggles of Native teens and families, and covers information relevant to today's world. It also is a book that is intended to appeal to both teens and adults. For some readers aspects of this book will be a little clumsy. Motivations of characters aren't fully fleshed out, the pacing is unsatisfying for some (a lot of flashbacks followed by a very significant confrontation scene towards the end) and for readers who are looking for a book geared towards adult sensitivities, the plot points and characters may just seem immature and obvious. However, I also found this book a book where the pages flew by, where I could read it almost anywhere I went, and I enjoyed the story if I could get myself out of the headspace of criticizing it.
