This story struck me with its heartfelt, realistic descriptions of an earthquake and rescue efforts afterward. That was the tense and dangerous part but what also struck me was the relationships in the Reilley family. Sisters Claire, Bridget and Frannie grew up not knowing their mother and with an overprotective father. That situation colored their whole life and choices. The excellent writing showed how their decisions shaped them and how circumstances brought out the best in them.

BackCover Blurb:
In this gripping new work of historical fiction from the award-winning
author of Code Name Edelweiss, three sisters fight for their lives and
for each other amid the danger of a cataclysmic earthquake that rips
Yellowstone National Park asunder.
1959. Claire, Bridget, and
Frannie Reilly were once as close as sisters can be. Though their mother
left when they were young, their loving father raised them with
everything they could want. But when Claire marries a handsome cowboy
and settles out west, a thousand miles away, the sisters’ strong bond
begins to unravel.
Claire struggles to adjust to a life utterly
unlike her upbringing, and surprising revelations about her husband’s
past make her wonder if she’s made a terrible mistake. With a new baby
and a shoestring budget, the last thing she needs is her family’s
interference.
Sensing something isn’t right, Bridget takes a
temporary nursing assignment in Yellowstone, promising her father she’ll
bring Claire home—with or without her husband. When Frannie, the
rebellious youngest sister, is sent along in hopes it will corral her
behavior, the Reilly sisters reunite on the eve of a seismic event that
rips Yellowstone apart, tests their survival, and exposes the
ever-widening rift in their relationship.
Based on real events of
the 1959 Hebgen Lake earthquake and inspired by true stories, The Fault
Between Us is a suspenseful exploration of the bonds of sisterhood, the
depths of family drama, and how hidden wounds can only heal when
they’re brought into the light.
