The Split, crafted by Kit Frick, is a high-voltage suspense novel that intertwines two parallel stories of sisters Jane and Esme Connor, separated by a single, life-altering decision. Jane, the older and more dependable sister, faces a critical moment when Esme, fleeing her affluent yet troubled marriage, seeks her help. Torn by her fear of a past highway incident, Jane's decision sets them on divergent paths—one leading to a harrowing search for the missing Esme, rife with deceit and dark family secrets, the other to a strained cohabitation, igniting long-buried tensions. Confronted with the echo of a shattering choice, the sisters must navigate their fraught relationship and grapple with the possibility that they might never truly understand the ones closest to them or the ramifications of the roads not taken.
