Helena Fremont knew the air would soon be used up and the avalanche that buried her would kill her. She feels regret and guilt for having left her eleven-year-old child Davin for her sister Amalie to raise all these years. Her last breathing thoughts are pleading with her sister to help her. Amalie knows the moment Helena died as she always feels the pain when Helena is hurt. The next day Roger Thurlow of Glacier National Park in British Columbia calls to tell her that they believe Helena died.

Amalie and Davin leave Toronto to come to the park because she needs closure by learning the truth about her sibling. To her shock, everyone who knew Helena, the name she used, detested her including Roger. However, although she learns more about her sister's unhappy life, Amalie begins to better understand herself as she begins to fall in love with Roger. Alas, poor Roger cannot stop himself from reciprocating her feelings even if she looks identical to a person he despised.

A SISTER WOULD KNOW is an entertaining contemporary romance that focuses on twins seeking individual identities. The characters make the story line as the lead couple and Davin see Helena differently. Though a minor character, who dies in the prologue, Helena remains the key to the tale. Accomplishing such a feat will make the reader know fans C.J. Carmichael is a talented and gifted author.

Plot description on this book's Amazon[.com] page. I felt this book went on too long. There was something not quite "right" about some of this story. If the dead twin, Helena, was pregnant, why was she drinking for two months? You get bits and pieces of parts of the story and it just starts to get annoying. And to top it off, Davin, the son, gets lost on the ski slopes--big rescue, couldn't they come up with anything different? Not a book I would keep, I'd just pass it on.
