The Sunshine Sisters by Jane Green
Ronni Sunshine left gloomy London for warm and sunny Hollywood to become a star of the silver screen. She was beautiful and charismatic on film, but at home she was a horrible mother to her three daughters Nell, Meredith, and Lizzy. In fact, all three leave as soon as they can. Nell, a single mother, leaves to go work on a farm; Meredith flees to London where she throws herself into an empty relationship; and Lizzy, a culinary star, sacrifices her marriage to rival her mother’s fame. Sadly the sisters not only drifted away from their mother, but they also drifted away from each other. When Ronni calls the girls home after finding out she has a serious disease, the sisters unleash their emotional wreckage. Can they set their old jealousies and insecurities behind, or is it too late? Told in back and forth perspectives from all four of the female characters, The Sunshine Sisters explores sisterhood, forgiveness, and finding the strength to move forward.
The Sunshine When She’s Gone by Thea Goodman
For the first time in a long while, Veronica Reed wakes up to complete silence in her Manhattan apartment. Her husband John took their baby Clara out for the morning so Veronica could have a restorative morning after months of restless sleep due to the birth of their daughter. However, things take a different turn… Instead of staying in the city, John takes Clara in taxi to the airport and then on a plane to the Caribbean. It’s not necessarily a kidnapping per se, and, after an absence of communication, Veronica makes the most of her carefree weekend while John spends time alone with his daughter learning what it means to take on the full responsibilities of fatherhood. Told in alternating points of view, Goodman explores the sacrifices of parenting can have on a couple as John and Veronica struggle to find their way back to each other.
