“Book Descriptions:“My sister taught me everything I knew back then. She taught me how to tie my shoes and she made sure I finished my homework. When she shook me awake in the middle of the night and said, “It’s time to get out of here,” I got up and went because it was how she helped me get ready for the world.”
For nearly as long as she can remember, it’s been Nicola and her sister Viv against the world. And up until that dreaded phone call woke her in the middle of the night, 26-year-old Nicola would have said she knew her charismatic older sister better than anyone else in the world.
After all, their parents abandoned them when Viv was seventeen, and despite the odds, the girls managed to dodge the authorities and raise themselves. They turned out pretty well, too: by dint of planning and determination, Viv put herself through medical school and into a successful surgery practice in Nashville. Nicola is an artist in Florida, and while it’s a more precarious way to make a living, moving as the commissions take her, she loves her work and her friends.
But when a car wreck leaves Viv widowed and unconscious, Nicola drops everything to care for her—only to discover that her beloved sister has been concealing one astonishing secret after another.
Even as she tries to figure out what Viv has been up to, Nicola must uncover the truth about their family’s past while navigating their future.
She Taught Me Everything is a story about sisters and secrets, and about the choices that can redefine the entire shape of a family.” DRIVE
