Sister Chemistry
By Jeannie Affelder and Maggie Cain
Sister Chemistry is a story of two pairs of sisters: Amy and Carrie in 1995 Cleveland, Ohio; and Manya and Bronya in 1885 Warsaw, Poland. Each pair navigates sibling relationships, aging parents, careers in science, and balancing commitments to themselves and their sisters. Their paths weave across the kitchen as the characters learn from each other across time.
