Friends, I have some big news and I’m thrilled to finally be able to share it. My next novel, Shadow Sister, is coming your way this August. And after hinting about it for a couple of months, today I finally get to show you the cover!

I love how this turned out. Once again, my amazing designer, Jenny at Seedlings Design Studio, knocked it out of the park. I hope you agree.

If you enjoyed Her Memory of Music, I think you’ll like Shadow Sister too. It also features lots of relational drama in a Pacific Northwest setting (this time on the other side of the mountains in Washington wine country) with a global accent (Bolivia). There’s mystery, there’s adventure, and of course, a generous dash of romance.

. . .

A bit more about the book:

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.

. . .

Lisa Wingate, bestselling author of Before We Were Yours, said this about it:

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. In Sarah, Katherine Scott Jones has created a woman struggling with her own demons but ultimately finding faith and discovering the beauty of forgiveness.”

. . .

I’m excited to share more about Shadow Sister as publication day draws closer. Coming soon: the Shadow Sister Pinterest board for a glimpse of how I envision it, as well as ideas and recommendations for making Book Club gatherings a little more fun.

I so hope you enjoy this book. Thank you for your support! Thank you for reading!

xoxo
