Book Synopsis
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.

My Review
I couldn't wait to dive into The Fault Between Us. I've been to Hebgen Lake in Yellowstone National Park, where the 1959 earthquake hit. It's an overwhelming sight. I picked the book up that morning, and by 4 a.m., I'd turned the last page. I couldn't quit reading because it was so compelling. The writing is heartfelt and authentic, and flows so beautifully.
The story is of three sisters whose mother abandoned them, and they were raised by a serious and overprotective father. Each girl carries scars from that, in her own way. I grew to love them all. I was whisked away and totally absorbed into Claire, Bridget, and Frannie's lives.
The most heart-stopping moments were during and in the aftermath of the earthquake. The devastation was felt as the tragedies happened. The whole experience was mind-blowing, seeing how many lives were spared when it could have been so much more devastating and so sad for the 28 lives that were lost.
I liked how each sister found themselves in dire straits, but each of their stories was told to show personal growth. I promise that you will be so immersed in this story that you'll not be able to put it down. I left many details out so you can enjoy the story on your own. The Fault Between Us will be one of my favorite reads of 2026. I will absolutely be reading more books from Author Stephanie Landsem.
