   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) CandyH | Apr 15, 2016 |  This is the third book in a series which includes "All For a Song" and "All For a Story." The setting for "All For a Sister" is Hollywood during the 1920's. There is a very deep theme to this novel. Years of lying and deception begin to unravel, revealing the many sins of one family. Those sins have left a tragic mark on the characters in this book. Celeste DuFrane has led a charmed life. She wants to be an actress and is ready to realize her dream. The daughter of a wealthy mother and a father who worked in the film industry, Celeste is in a much envied position. She seems to have it all, until her mother dies. Celeste's world changes dramatically because of the death of her mother. Events unfold which Celeste is not prepared for. She discovers that her mother, Marguerite, has left a large inheritance to a woman named Dana Lundgren. Years ago, before Celeste was born, Marguerite accused Dana of killing her infant daughter, a crime for which Dana was imprisoned. Dana has been in jail for most of her life. After leaving prison, Dana returns to the DuFrane estate. Celeste and Dana discover much about each other and much about the past. The sins of the past are fully realized after the written confession of Marguerite DuFrane is discovered. Now, Celeste and Dana face a future neither of them expected. All For a Sister is a well written, interesting novel. The story moves quickly and holds the interest of the reader from cover to cover. If you enjoy mystery, suspense, and final redemption, you will want to read this book! I received a copy of this book from the publisher, through The Book Club Network (bookfun.org) in exchange for my honest review. (  ) PamelaJo | Jul 20, 2014 | no reviews | add a review
