Today, I am delighted to welcome talented author, Jacquie Biggar, to Roberta Writes with her latest release Finding Me: The Defiant Sisters Duet-Book 2

Over to Jacquie

Thank you for sharing my new release on your blog today, Robbie. It’s deeply appreciated!

A few years ago, a regular customer of my restaurant lost her husband to suicide. It shocked our small community and devastated her family. They seemed like a happy, loving couple, so what happened?

The same occurred to a famous, well-loved dancer called tWitch. He and his wife had three children, the youngest only two years old. And yet, he, too, is gone.

This led me to wonder (and worry) about the children left behind. How do they handle the loss of their father? Do they blame themselves? Each other?

The Defiant Sisters Duet is an exploration of two sisters, Renée and Izzy, affected differently by the loss and how it eats at the family’s dynamics.

Finding Me

Izzy

My life is not like I dreamed it would be. I had the foolish fantasy of finishing high school, going to college, making something of myself- maybe even becoming famous.

Instead, I’m the infamous kid of the father who killed himself in the family’s backyard.

How’s that for a legacy?

Renée

I came home for my mother’s funeral, but I’m staying to mend bridges with my sister. We have another chance, and whatever it takes, we need to come together as a family or live the rest of our lives knowing we let our brother down.

They say pride goes before a fall, but it doesn’t tell us how to avoid the scrapes along the way.

Excerpt:

Izzy

Renée is trying to make me lose my mind. This partnership she dreamed up isn’t going to succeed if she keeps undermining my authority at every turn. I’ve repeatedly mentioned the importance of having a qualified electrician come through and update all the wiring. The building is old. We need to protect our investment—my investment. I’m not sure where she got her down payment, but I had to use my share of the equity in the house to cover my portion. If it fails… well, it can’t.

I kick a loose stone on the sidewalk and watch it roll into the gutter, my shadow marking time as I walk past the Willoughby’s store and wave at Helen through the window. Renée can buy her own damn salad if she wants one. She had no right to give Ben permission to break his grounding, especially after I expressly told him no. What kind of message does that send to a belligerent teen already pushing boundaries to see how far he can go?

She makes me crazy. It’s been that way our whole lives. Renée’s way is to act all kind and caring while she methodically shoves the shiv into your spine. I’ve seen her in action too many times to be taken in by her crap, which makes me wonder how I got myself tangled up in her new crusade—saving our family one good deed at a time.

  1. Robbie, lovely to see Jacquie here with her latest new book ‘Finding Me’. Jacquie, it seems you’ve found the perfect two characters to explore this emotional topic – the effect a suicide has on those left behind. The two sisters have much to resolve and the extract shared brings us right into the being and mind-set of Izzy! Brilliant writing and wishing you all the best with your book.

    2. Thank you, Annika. These two love each other and were very close as children. Then the teens came, and their father ended his life (in their backyard), and now they can’t find their way back to what they had.

      Thanks for the kind words {{hugs}}

  15. Excellent concept. Yes, siblings relatives can drive you crazy, but if you know it’s coming the participant is as guilty as the con artist so sympathy is a hard sell. Devil’s advocate here (as always) hoping those three paragraphs didn’t run in order or they’ll get my redundancy and pinball awards for March🤣 Write well and often.
