    Description of Like a Sister by Kellye Garrett

    “I found out my sister was back in New York from Instagram. I found out she'd died from the New York Daily News.”

    When the body of reality TV star Desiree Pierce is found on a playground in the Bronx the morning after her twenty-fifth birthday party, the police and the media are quick to declare her death an overdose. A tragedy, certainly, but not a crime.

    Yet Columbia grad student Lena—principled, headstrong, and allergic to the spotlight—knows that can't be the case. Despite the bitter truth that the two hadn't spoken in two years, they were half-sisters. Lena knew Desiree. And Desiree would never travel above 125th Street. Something is very wrong with the facts. So why is no one listening?

    While the two sisters had been torn apart by Desiree's partying and by their difficult father, Lena becomes determined to find justice for Desiree. Even if that means untangling her family's darkest secrets—or ending up dead herself.
