BLURB:
Blood sisters till the end...
Until they're not.
One cold night in a boarding school dorm, two fourteen-year-old girls
make a blood sister pact. Friends forever. As young schoolgirls, they're
determined to find true love, learning the hits and misses along the way. As
graduation nears, the girls have different outlooks for the future. Lucinda
longs for adventure. Anna chooses city life and marriage. Finding their way
back together, the girls head west for an experience of a lifetime until a
handsome cowboy bursts into their lives, changing the course of their
friendship forever.

Excerpt :
Anna shook her head. “I’m glad it’s over.” She slowly closed
her eyes and took the deepest breath possible. “But I’m proud of myself. I hate
the sight of blood, but it was worth it.” She lifted her left hand to examine
the cut. Blood trailed down her finger.
Lucinda also raised her left hand. Her middle finger dripped
with blood. “Then let’s get started.” She lit a tall taper candle on the table.
The flame flickered slightly giving the darkened room a mystical glow. “On this
day of January the twenty-fourth …” She stretched out her arm toward Anna. “I,
Lucinda Ann Walker, being of sound mind and body, make you my blood sister.”
Anna giggled. “You make it sound so formal.” She could tell
Lucinda fought back a smile, but her face stayed solemn. “Alright, then.” Anna
cleared her throat. “I, Anna Grace Douglass, also being of sound mind and body,
make you my blood sister in the year of our Lord, 1923.”
They positioned their hands together,
fingertip-to-fingertip, mixing the blood. Anna’s finger throbbed with pain, but
she felt happy. She was thrilled she decided to come to this very exclusive
private boarding school on scholarship. When she met her roommate she never
dreamed they’d become best friends. Lucinda’s personality was bigger than life,
quite the opposite of Anna. Now five months later, they were a sorority of two.
