Superheroes have always been Leia Birch Briggs’ weakness. One tequila-soaked night at a comics convention, the usually level-headed graphic novelist is swept off her barstool by a handsome and anonymous Batman, but it turns out the caped crusader has left her with more than just a nice, fuzzy memory . . .
With empathy, grace, humor, and piercing insight, The Almost Sisters is a powerful, and emotionally resonant novel of the South that confronts the truth about privilege, family, and the distinctions between perception and reality of the stories we tell ourselves about our origins and who we really are.
