While My Sister Sleeps by Barbara Delinsky is a fictional novel that centers around the Snow family. Robin Snow is a world class runner and suffers a massive heart attack while training for an upcoming marathon. While in a comatose state her sister - Molly Snow uncovers family secrets that may destroy the entire family. Throughout the novel you watch the family come to terms with Robin's condition and cope with their secrets head on. This was a fast and easy read. I enjoyed the book becuase as an avid runner I was able to connect to the comradarie mentioned throughout the book. As a sister I was left to ponder - how would I feel in Molly's situation. What would I want for myself if I were Robin? So the book isn't for everyone but its definitely something you can pick up and finish in a couple days and feel it was time worth spending.
