Two sisters weather a blizzard together

A sudden blizzard leaves Rama and Leena isolated at their rural home while their father is away for work. With the house damaged and basic necessities out of reach, the sisters must depend on one another. The novel in verse pairs this survival predicament with the different ways each sister is carrying grief: Rama struggles with intrusive thoughts, while Leena blames herself for their mother’s death. Their ordeal brings sisterhood, loss, and resilience into the same frame, linking the practical challenge of enduring a storm with the effort to keep going through personal turmoil.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

Book overview

From the National Book Award-winning author of Kareem Between comes a powerful novel in verse about two sisters trapped in a blizzard in a heart-wrenching story of sisterhood and survival.

Two sisters. One storm. A fight for their lives.

Rama is all fire--fierce, quick to anger, and trying to hold her family together while battling the monster of intrusive thoughts. Leena is all ice--quiet, numbed to the vibrancy of the world, as she silently blames herself for their mother's death.

When their father must travel for work, a sudden blizzard traps the sisters alone at their rural home. As the storm tears through their house, they're left without power, without food, without shelter--and with no one to rely on but each other.

Told in powerful, poetic verse, Sisters Alone is a heart-stopping story of sisterhood, survival, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going, even when the world feels like it's falling apart.
