From best-selling author Gregory Maguire comes a touching novel about twelve-year old Alice Colossus, an orphan. Raised by nuns, one day someone calls Alice by the wrong name. After a bit of detective work, Alice discovers she has a twin sister, who lives with a family just a few miles away - living the life that Alice has always dreamed of. With the same masterful use of language that Maguire brings to his adult titles, Missing Sisters delivers a funny, heartwrenching story of the strength of sisterhood and the struggle to find a family of one's own
