“A story of old secrets and new beginnings, Shadow Sister explores the complexities of family, the bonds of sisterhood, and the crippling power of guilt… ultimately discovering the beauty of forgiveness.”
Lisa Wingate, national bestselling author of Before We Were Yours
Shadow Sister
BY KATHERINE SCOTT JONES
Working on her father’s vineyard allows Sarah Lanning to bury memories of a lost love and a career that might have been. But then her fractured family receives word that her estranged sister, Jenna, is dead, leaving behind an unexpected request: that Sarah travel to Bolivia to scatter her ashes.
Accompanied by pilot Chase Maddox, Sarah embarks on an Andean journey that tests her devotion to home and exposes Jenna’s secret life. Each staggering discovery creates new mysteries—until the last, which leaves Sarah questioning everything she understood about family loyalty. At a crossroads, she must decide whether truth is worth the cost of forgiveness—and whether she can lay claim to a future of happiness without it.
Bittersweet and bold, Shadow Sister explores the mysteries of the human heart and the bond of unquenchable love.

Readers’ Praise
“The book is exquisite and will go on my ‘best of the best’ list. Complex, rich, character-driving stories are what I long for and there’s not a lot in the Christian fiction genre.”
—Carole Jarvis
“I just finished Shadow Sister and I loved it. Loved the setting, and the sisters, but most of all the lessons in how Jesus loved women in the Bible. The theme of grace and redemption was so wonderful to see.”
—Carolyn Hiatt
“With lyrical prose and a complex cast of characters, Shadow Sister tenderly reminds the reader there is hope in the midst of our brokenness. Bravo to Katherine Scott Jones for crafting a beautiful and bittersweet story about letting go of the past and embracing what lies ahead.
—Heidi McCahan, author of Unraveled
“Shadow Sister is an amazing journey into the past. Vivid descriptions of Bolivia made me feel like traveling there could be an adventure. Another great story from Katherine Scott Jones! I can’t wait to read the next one.”
—Cami Whitaker
“Shadow Sister proves Katherine Scott Jones’s ability as a skilled, subtle storyteller. With Shadow Sister, Jones continues her artistic journey, using a similar technique [as in her debut], but with a much more developed story and characters. In fact, there isn’t a single character in Shadow Sister that doesn’t contribute, directly, to the development of the plot. I also appreciated Jones’s ability to portray her characters warts and all. Oftentimes in faith-fiction, there is a tendency to gloss over faults and misdeeds. But Jones’s story runs deep and true to life. A page-turner of a book!”
