Billie’s comments from the Read Local 2015 POPSUGAR Reading Challenge group.

The beauty of a memoir is hearing the voices of those who were left out of the original conversation. The voices that fill in the blanks in ways that gives us a fuller more honest view of the past. The beauty of Goodreads and Cats Eye Press is sharing stories, one story..or two or three... at a time.

Blood Sisters

“Billie Travalini’s Blood Sisters is a deeply moving book that explores the essence of family and kinship and delves even deeper to the fundamental human yearning for a self, for an identity. This is one of those rare memoirs that not only shares the author’s life but truly opens the reader to his or her own.”

Robert Olen Butler, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain
