Wendy’s debut novel, The Sisters We Were, is the story of how Pearl and her older sister Ruby, two intelligent, funny, and resilient young women, come together to heal the wounds that separated them, and to find their way out from under the awful weight of the family secrets that buried Pearl so long ago.
Funny, cinematic, and bursting with heart, The Sisters We Were gives voice to the disenfranchised and marginalized, those whose own body weight has literally become a death sentence. But more than that, it’s a story of hope and redemption that celebrates the unbreakable bonds of sisterhood in a story for the ages.
Based on the true-life experience of the author and her sister, The Sisters We Were is a glimpse into a life that is too often hidden, as it deftly and wonderfully celebrates the unbreakable love between two sisters.

What People Are Saying
“531 pounds. How did this even happen? Like how did she get to be hundreds of pounds beyond the point where she can celebrate her curves or benefit from the “body positivity” movement sweeping the country? At 531 pounds—Pearl would be the first to say there’s no such thing as body positivity. Will she find the courage to overcome her own fear of living and the very real risks involved and get the surgery that will offer her the chance to break out of the enormous shell she’s been hiding in? Will she ever be able to do simple stuff like buckle a seat belt or tuck in a shirt?”
