Sister Time is a novel by John Ringo and Julie Cochrane, and is part of the Legacy of the Aldenata series, specifically a spin off that features Michael O'Neal's daughters Cally and Michelle. Michelle has been raised off planet by the Indowny race, and has been trained in highly advanced mental techniques. As established in the earlier Cally's War, Cally is a dangerous assassin. They meet for the first time since the war, but it is not certain if they will be allies or enemies.
Sister Carrie, Theodore Dreiser's revolutionary first novel. The story of Carrie Meeber, an 18-year-old country girl who moves to Chicago and becomes a kept woman, was strong stuff at the turn of the century, and what Dreiser's wary publisher released was a highly expurgated version. Times change, and we now have a restored "author's cut" of Sister Carrie that shows how truly ahead of his time Dreiser was. First and foremost, he has written an astute, nonmoralizing account of a woman and her limited options in late-19th-century America.
