Shelley Hrdlitschka is hearing nothing but good things about her latest novel, Sister Wife. Called “brave” by one reviewer, Shelley tackles the topic of two girls growing up in a polygamous community in this fictional book for young adults.
Shelley was recently interviewed by Stephen Clare on his blog Scenes of the Crime, and talks about her inspiration for writing this novel (media coverage of the community of Bountiful, B.C.) and what she found most challenging (representing all the sides of the issue fairly). Check it out!
Nikki Tate did an audio review about Sister Wife on her weekly teen book review with CBC Britsih Columbia. Listen to it here!
