Sister, Sister

Ranked #14 among AALBC’s Favorite 100 Titles of the 20th Century

New York Times bestselling author Eric Jerome Dickey’s unforgettable debut novel is a vibrant celebration of Black sisterhood, named by Essence as one of the “50 Most Impactful Black Books of the Last 50 Years.”

In Los Angeles, Valerie, Inda, and Chiquita are searching for love, happiness, and lives on their own terms.

Valerie has spent years trying to be the perfect wife for her husband, Walter, whose stalled football career has left their marriage on shaky ground. When she meets Daniel, she begins to imagine a different future. Her divorced sister, Inda, discovers that her charming boyfriend, Raymond, has been seeing another woman—and she has every intention of making him regret it. Meanwhile, Chiquita, newly single after ending a disappointing relationship, finds herself drawn to Thaddeus, the irresistible brother of Valerie and Inda. Could he finally be the good man she’s been waiting for?

Sexy, funny, and refreshingly honest, Sister, Sister explores friendship, romance, betrayal, and resilience in a world where dreams may change, but hope never fades.
