The Other Sister

About This Book

Maya has a secret she's only beginning to understand—and her name is Akira. After her father's sudden death fractures an already unconventional childhood, Maya is raised between a psychic twin brother sent away to train with a mysterious guru, a mother she's forbidden to call "Mum," and the aunt who becomes her one true refuge. Years later, Maya must piece together the "lost time" of her own life — and confront the other sister she never knew she had. When the world gets too sharp, too painful, Akira takes over: fierce, guarded, and fiercely protective of the girl underneath. But it comes at a cost. And time is running out for Maya to figure her life out. The Other Sister is a gripping, tender story about dissociation, inherited trauma, and the strange, sustaining power of found family — where science and spirituality sit uneasily side by side, and healing looks nothing like anyone expects.
