Princess Sister

by Sheila Copeland

Like a true Princess Sister, Mignon Chevalier has everything going on. Living with her family in Paris, she shops in the finest stores, attends art classes at the Louvre and mingles with the city's brightest and best, thanks to her jazz-musician father's very successful nightclub.

When financial setbacks force a move, the Chevaliers return to New Orleans, where long-buried secrets, fierce jealousies and deep, emotional wounds threaten to tear apart the close-knit family Mignon loves. Now she is about to discover what it takes to fight for the things she wants and to hold on to the people she needs, and that the greatest love can only begin with the power of forgiveness.

This book was a little different than her others, but I still enjoyed reading it. The beginning threw me off just a little, but it made sense as I kept gong.

From what I remember about this book, it kinda pissed me off! EVERYBODY had a french name! Really??? It was boring and although I recognize it is fiction, it was still too out of touch with reality for me. I couldn't get past EVERYONE having french names in New Orleans. SO beyond unrealistic!

Nice story. The characters weren't fully developed, but they were okay. I enjoyed the fact that the family was from Paris (I love that city and hope to go one day.)

This book was just ok. Too much French stuff for me, and it didn't feel authentic. I prefer Coplenand's Chocolate Star books better.
