Search - The True and Outstanding Adventures of the Hunt Sisters

I loved this book. Told as an epistolary novel, this is the poignant story of one sister's attempt to cope with her sister's leukemia. Funny, hopeful and yes, sad, it looks at family, love and career and the stresses and struggles that accompany them. Peopled both with fictional and real life characters (Robin Williams, for example), this book appeals because of the author's grasp of life's small pleasures as much as its larger plights. Highly recommended.

Told entirely through letters, this is the story of two very strong, yet very different sisters, Olivia and Madeline, as they deal with Madeline's fight against leukemia. Olivia is a cynical Hollywood producer whose love for her family is often at odds with her high pressured job; Maddie is the younger, traditional midwestern optimist who stayed behind to marry her true love. Sounds corny as I write this, but it wasn't at all; it's a book that I absolutely loved. I stayed up until 1AM reading it, and then got up and read until I completed it. I loved all the characters and didn't want the story to end. It was funny and heartwarming and heartbreaking all at the same time. One of my all time favorites.

Excellent book. As a family member of a cancer "survivor" I felt I could relate to the lead. I was moved to tears and laughter upon multiple occasions.

Great story...I loved that the format was different being letters. It almost seemed liked I was reading someone's journal I stumbled upon and was trying to put all the pieces together.

Touching story about two sisters, sort of my My Sister's Keeper. I recommend it.
