The Griffin Sisters' Greatest Hits by Jennifer WeinerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Whatever happened to the Griffin Sisters?
Twenty years ago the pop group The Griffin Sisters took the US by storm. Their one and only album went gold, they were compared to every music legend out there. Their lyrics were soulful and their lead singer Cassie had a voice to rival Aretha Franklin and every other great singer you can think of.
The Griffin Sisters was the brainchild of Cassie's older sister Zoe. Zoe had the looks, but Cassie had the talent. The record label introduced them to Russell who helped them write the songs that resonated with a generation. Then tragedy struck and the band split.
Twenty years later, Zoe is a suburban housewife in New Jersey who has done everything she can to gloss over her past and Cassie is a recluse living in the wilds of Alaska. But Zoe's eldest child Cherry has the music bug and is determined to pursue her dreams no matter what Zoe says.
Think a mash-up of The Mamas and the Papas and Fleetwood Mac, the drama, the relationships, the raw talent, the devastation.
I really enjoyed this, but I guess I wanted a different ending - not sure what that would look like mind you, but I do.
