It's a Thin Line - Paperback

by Kimberla Lawson Roby (Author)

In this captivating classic, New York Times bestselling author Kimberla Lawson Roby tells the powerful tale of three very different siblings who discover that family is the only thing that truly matters.

Sydney, Gina, and Rick have always shared a special sibling bond, yet their lives are as different as can be. The eldest, Sydney, has a loving, handsome husband and an adorable daughter. But the demands of her writing career leave little time for family. Meanwhile, middle sister Gina is struggling to raise young twins--and trying to protect them...and herself . . . from their volatile father. Rick, the youngest, is living the high life--dodging commitment with his girlfriend--and wondering if the grass is greener elsewhere.

When their beloved mother, Delores, suffers a stroke, all three suddenly find the tenuous threads of their individual lives at a breaking point. Worst, the burden of caring for a parent is tearing them apart. But as they struggle to overcome daunting obstacles, they will discover something that they've never let themselves believe: their most stable--and most cherished--relationships have always been with each other . . .
