One tequila-soaked night at a comic-book convention, the usually level-headed Leia Birch Briggs is swept off her barstool by a charming and anonymous Batman. But the Caped Crusader leaves more than just a fond, fuzzy memory in his wake—Leia is pregnant. Before Leia can break the news of her impending single motherhood (and the fact that her baby is biracial) to her conventional lily-white Southern family, her perfect stepsister Rachel’s marriage implodes. Worse, she learns that her beloved grandmother, Birchie, has been hiding her rapidly progressing dementia. Heading seven hundred miles south, Leia plans both to aid her family and somehow break the news of her blessed event. But Birchie has been hiding a dangerous secret that threatens to change everything about how Leia sees herself and her sister, her unborn son and his absent father, and the world she thinks she knows. Enchanting, wry, honest, and hopeful, The Almost Sisters compels us to explore our own origins and the stories we tell ourselves.
