It’s a long story, but last night our babysitter (a very nice older lady) ended up hanging out at our house for about an hour after we got home, and I gave her control of the remote. She switched it to Debbie Macomber’s Mrs. Miracle, but the movie had already been on for an hour so we only saw the last half. It was actually a pretty cute movie (as evidenced by the fact that my brother and I kept watching the end, even after the babysitter left), though it wasn’t something we’d have ever turned it to ourselves. But because we came in late, we never got to find out what the sister did to Reba (the heroine) that was so horrible she wouldn’t speak to her for four years. I Googled for spoilers, but I couldn’t find the answer. So, I’m turning to you guys for the answer if you’ve read the book or seen the movie. What the heck did she do?
About Me

There is nothing worse than writing a bio. And writing one for your blog sidebar? Blech. Maybe you landed here via Google, followed me from Twitter (does that make you a stalker?) or maybe we met at a conference or you clicked a link from a comment I made at a blog you visited. Hopefully whatever I said didn't make you so mad you came looking for a picture to throw darts at (yep, that's me up above, in my favorite cowboy hat) but instead drove you to find out more about the amazingly witty and intelligent person behind the amazingly witty and intelligent comment.
However you found me, who you found is Angela James, executive editor of Carina Press, Harlequin's new digital-first press. I'm passionate about digital publishing, my mission is to drag people to the digital dark side, one reader (and author) at a time. I'm also Brianna's mommy.

The sister ran off with Reba’s fiance a day before the wedding, claiming they had fallen in love. Later the sister broke up with the guy and ended up married to someone else. Ugly business.
Oooh, thank you! I figured it was something like that. I don’t know if that’s worth four years of not speaking. But, to be honest, I wasn’t overly crazy about the heroine (or the hero). I was just watching for Dora Roberts (Mrs. Miracle)
Same here. Doris Roberts was great. The two mains read as selfish and sullen. Although, if my sister did that to me she wouldn’t have to worry about me not speaking to her for four years. She’d be locked in my basement, subsisting on a cat food diet. >giggle< I'm just saying…
Small correction. The sister did leave with Reba’s fiance because the sister and fiance had fallen in love. But after the fiance ditched Reba and hooked up with the sister, it didn’t last long because it was the fiance who left the sister. The sister ended up marrying some other guy and having a baby.
My brother-in-law’s mother stole her sister’s boyfriend. Years later, she stole another friend’s boyfriend, got engaged to him and left him at the altar. Oddly enough, she’s always had a strained relationship with the rest of her family and she doesn’t seem to have any friends.
…confusing yet too simple all at the same time.
I was thinking about getting the book. Eh, we’ll see. Wish I’d seen the Movie so I could compare them.
