Synopses & Reviews
Based on Sisters, the highly acclaimed photo-essay book which spent 63 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and sold more than 1 million copies, this journal is a rich, evocative celebration of an unbreakable bond. It’s also an exceptional place to record memories and insights, for oneself or as a gift. The deluxe, hardbound journal features a handsome cloth cover with gold foil stamping, and the pages are high-quality parchment with Wohlmuth’s moving photographs and Saline’s selected quotations on the meaning of having a sister.
