Publisher's Summary:
Glass Ferry, Kentucky, is bourbon country. Whiskey has been a way of life for generations, enabling families to provide and survive even in the darkest times. Flannery Butler's daddy, Beauregard "Honey Bee" Butler, was known for making some of the best whiskey in the state, aged in barrels he'd take by boat up and down the Kentucky River until the rocking waters turned the spirits smooth and golden. Flannery is the only person Honey Bee ever entrusted with his recipes before he passed on, swearing her to secrecy as he did so.
But Flannery is harboring other secrets too, about her twin sister Patsy, older by eight minutes and pretty in a way Flannery knows she'll never be. Then comes the prom night when Patsy - wearing a yellow chiffon dress and the family pearls - disappears along with her date. Every succeeding year on the twins' birthday, Flannery's mother bakes a strawberry cake, convinced that this is the day Patsy will finally come home.
But it will be two tumultuous decades until the muddy river yields a clue about what happened that night, compelling Flannery to confront the truth about her sleepy town, her family's past, and the choices she and those closest to her have made in the name of love and retribution.

Beautiful writing and plot
Must read. I loved this book, and found myself going back over sentences/passages just because some phrasing was beautiful. The plot was good, and kept adding things, just when I thought they would be wrapping up the book. Things were mentioned at certain points which I thought might be forgotten and leave me hanging, but the author wrapped up every one! I love the narrative with different time frames as well. Read this book....it's a must read.
Gotta Read
Sisters of Glass Ferry is the fourth book I have read by Kim Richardson. The book is so rich in southern and what I call country living. I don't know how she makes you feel you are living in that era. I am close to that age, but not quite, and I know Kim isn't. She is a wonderful writer. The mystery and warmth of her writing make you just want to see what else she has in store. Pick this book up, I guarantee you will enjoy. Thanks again Kim for writing such a great novel. Rick
