Barbara Raskin (1924–1987)

I adore this book. To read once or read again is often the question. I read this book over again, sometimes seeking out truths about frienships, aging, and families. This book has the right blend of humor, story telling and lessons to be taken.

Current affairs by Barbara Raskin
Audio book and the sisters start out with numbered lists of why they are jealous of the other, why they are the same and why they are different.
Nat is married and no kids. Shay has had 4 husbands with a grandchild that she pawns off on others. Nat picks her up at the airport and they head to a party but the car is stolen. Real problem is highly sensitive government papers that Shay had are also stolen. Snapshots along the way are described.
The car is found show more and the cops question Nat as to the papers and she has no clue-they are Shay's. She wants to put her under the bus instead she tends to the little granddaughter so Shay can go track down who wants the papers now...
Lots of action as the FBI helps to protect her and they try to make a deal with the thugs...lots of DRAMA!

After 100 pages I decided that I had wasted enough time on this.
