CATEGORY: Inspirational. Magical Realism. Family. Feel-Good. Hope. Clean Fiction. (Ages 12+)

Twin sisters separated at birth.

One Black.
One white.
One adopted.
One homeless.

After the devastating loss of her husband, Gladys struggles to keep her life—and her teenage daughter—together. Sixteen-year-old Dionne, a gifted musical prodigy at a prestigious Dallas arts high school, feels the pressure to succeed while watching her mother sink deeper into grief.

Then a mysterious voice changes everything.

It leads them to a homeless street musician known as Sister Soul—a woman with a powerful voice, a gentle spirit, and an extraordinary ability to ease the pain in others. But when Sister Soul reveals her real name—Janice—and claims she is Gladys’s long-lost twin sister, the fragile world Gladys has built begins to unravel.

Janice, who is on the autism spectrum and experiences music in a uniquely powerful way, carries secrets from the past that connect them all. As the three women grow closer, buried truths begin to surface, old wounds reopen, and healing slowly begins.

Together, they form an unlikely trio and step onto the stage of American Star, chasing a dream none of them expected—and discovering the strength that comes from family and unconditional love.

When Sister Soul Stole the Blues is a heartfelt novel about the power of family, forgiveness, music, and the extraordinary ways love finds us when we least expect it.
