siblings much find a way to recover from their family's history, but
it's not clear how. Tired of carrying the weight of the world on her
shoulders, Aja is finally ready for a change that she hopes could lead

Roxie, knows just what to do--she sets Aja up on a date with one of the

and charming. But "happily ever after" isn't that simple.

to reach her, and Eric's uncontrollable rage is wreaking havoc on his

cycle--even if it means putting her own life, and her own chance at
love, on hold.
My Brother's Keeper is a poignant novel about a resilient family
learning that sometimes you have to forgive in order to find the
strength to move on.
