Sisters Found by Joan Johnston, HQN, April 2008 (book 13- Hawk's Way)

Hope- With an 18 year age difference, Jake Whitelaw thought there was too much of an age difference between him and Hope Butler. At 18 he also felt she hadn't experienced the world enough and he became engaged to Amanda Carter. So Hope said she would go to college and asked Jake to wait for her. He told her that if Amanda were to set a date he would marry her. For three years while Hope went to college and traveled to Europe and Australia, no news came of a marriage between Jake and Amanda. Not until she returned home. Then the date was set, Christmas Eve. That gave her two weeks to make Jake realize he was marrying the wrong woman. Maybe Jake can see that he can be happier with Hope, but can he love her? Jake's brother Rabb was in love with Amanda. He had 2 weeks to make her see that she was marrying the wrong man. Add to the mix Hope's twin Faith who can see that Jake and Amanda won't be happy together and wants to see Amanda happy with Rabb and Hope with Jake.

Faith- Faith Butler has dated and loved Randy Wright for three year. Randy makes her feel less self conscience of the fact she only has one hand. She was constantly matchmaking, trying to get Hope and Jake together, Rabb and Amanda. And now finding out she had another sister if she could get Kane and Charity married then Charity would be living closer.

Charity- Kane Longstreet was a cousin of the Whitelaw's. He finally convinced Charity Burnette to come home with him and meet his family. Rabb and Amanda meet her first and mistake her for Hope because she bears an exact resemblance to Hope. It can't be Faith because she has both hands. Even though Charity says she's adopted, Amanda and Rabb dismiss the idea that she might be related to Hope and Faith because that may mean that Hope and Faith's parents had triplets and choose to keep two and give one away. But the girls were triplets, so what happen?

Will Faith be successful? Will there be 0 weddings? One? Two? Three? Four?

Trying to clear up a mystery surrounding an old murder brings two people together.  Both of them have things they need to find out about their families and their past. The story seems a bit forced at times but the premise for the story is very interesting. I will definitly read more of Linda Style's books.
