Middle Sisters, published by Palmetto Publishing, is a memoir that spans several generations of a family, revealing a saga filled with resilience and betrayal set against the backdrop of historical events such as the two world wars. The story begins in 1908 in Belgium with Lydie, a controlling mother, who forces her daughter Zilda into a loveless marriage. Zilda has three daughters whose lives are shaped by their tumultuous upbringing, particularly the middle daughter, Marguerite, who marries an unfaithful man while pursuing medical studies.

Marguerite's journey continues in the United States where she copes with the challenges of single motherhood and sexism in academia while battling significant health issues. Her resilience is highlighted as she defies societal norms and ultimately finds a supportive partner. Zilda's posthumous journals reveal her journey from poverty to wealth and a startling betrayal that changes her legacy. Despite Zilda's favoritism towards her other daughters, it is Marguerite who becomes her mother's support in her later years.

The memoir, written under the pseudonym Marguerite Duvivier, intricately explores themes such as money, infidelity, favoritism, jealousy, and self-determination. It stands as a testament to women's enduring spirit and highlights their capacity to find strength and humor amidst adversity. Middle Sisters is available for purchase online at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
