From the National Book Award-winning author of Kareem Between comes a powerful novel in verse about two sisters trapped in a blizzard in a heart-wrenching story of sisterhood and survival. Two sisters. One storm. A fight for their lives. Rama is all fire-fierce, quick to anger, and trying to hold her family together while battling the monster of intrusive thoughts. Leena is all ice-quiet, numbed to the vibrancy of the world, as she silently blames herself for their mother’s death. When their father must travel for work, a sudden blizzard traps the sisters alone at their rural home. As the storm tears through their house, they’re left without power, without food, without shelter-and with no one to rely on but each other. Told in powerful, poetic verse, Sisters Alone is a heart-stopping story of sisterhood, survival, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going, even when the world feels like it’s falling apart.
