<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"In Jane Rosenberg LaForge's dark thriller Sisterhood of the Infamous, two sisters contend with a grisly killing, and their lifetime of resentment boils over. When she was younger, Barbara hungered for fame. She went from the Hollywood suburbs to center stage as part of an all-girl punk band, The California Youth Authority. Her ambition was akin to a physical craving: "I wanted people to see, hear, and feel me in every possible direction. I wanted ... to rest on the tip of everyone's tongue." Her relationship with Jasmine, a pop star, is an offshoot of her ambition. Arguably, Barbara loved fame more than anything, even her own family. Now, Barbara is dying of breast cancer with her sister by her side. Barbara's narration relays scraps and shreds from her childhood, her long rivalry with her sister, and her ex-girlfriend's murder. Her mind is foggy; she conflates memories with imagined events, resulting in a twisted catalog of discontentment that stretches across decades."-- forewordreviews.com<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Sisterhood of the Infamous is a masterful work, dense with meaning. The spot-on prose depicts the characters and their world so finely, that through-out LaForge's precise unveiling of her fascinating characters, every reader will often catch themselves thinking, 'God, that's me!', even if in some cases the thought of that would not be particularly pleasant... As thenovel proceeds, more and more the two sisters assume the characteristics of interlocking puzzle pieces; totally different, but each only completely fathomable when held up against the other... LaForge possesses the enviable skill of revealing just enough along the road to keep the reader guessing and wanting to know what's next; wanting to keep turning the pages.
