“It reads like a vivid, first-person slice of childhood where every sensory detail, every unfairness, and every small joy is magnified.” –R.L. Hare, author

𝑴𝒖𝒍𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝑺𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒔, the captivating debut novella from award-winning author Lisa-Behrens Smith, takes you deep into the world of young sisters Jolene and Corrine during the hot Texas summer of 1968. Best friends and sometimes enemies, they speak as only the very young can, displaying an unflinching honesty about their lives and family while they fall into months of poverty, homelessness, conflict, and loss.

Within their confusing new world, they begin to rely on the only thing they have left--each other. Instead of living in fear, they defy the rules, create mischief, and share tiny moments of unexpected happiness. These sisters whisper their stories, supporting each other through days of unfamiliar envy, discovered family secrets, and even the lessons of death.

But how can they withstand the final heartbreak?
