The Family That Stays Together by Deborah Plummer Bussey

Having spent more than a dozen years of her life as a nun, Bussey is the creator of the Sister Nun mystery series. She is also the editor of the “Handbook of Diversity Management: Beyond Awareness to Competency Based Learning” from University Press of America. Bussey’s nonfiction self-help book, “Racing Across the Lines: Changing Race Relationships Through Friendships,” released by Pilgrim Press received the publishing company’s Mayflower Award for Best Publication in the church and state category. After a lengthy career as an academic, she discovered a passion for writing. She is a psychologist and human resources professional with expertise in diversity management and organizational development. She holds a Master of Education degree in community consultation and a doctorate in psychology. Bussey lived in Cleveland, Ohio, until she was recruited to the University of Massachusetts Medical School in New England. One of Deborah Plummer Bussey’s favorite childhood memories is visiting the local library where she first immersed herself into the world of books. The story sparks stimulating conversations for book clubs and all readers about diversity, gay issues and emotional maturity, as well as the contemporary challenges of Catholic faith. “The Family That Stays Together” from Half Dozen Publications is not the typical murder mystery. Her gregarious sister, Tina, aids her as the two amateur sleuths uncover suicides and accidental deaths as murders. In each mystery, Kathy is faced with the challenge of how to bring to light something she finds out in her clinical practice without breaking confidentiality. But as usual, scandal, foul play and trouble lurk around every corner. “The Family That Stays Together” continues the fast-paced adventures of sisters Kathy and Tina first chronicled in Bussey’s debut book “They Still Call Me Sister.” This time, the two women join forces to protect a family friend, a television celebrity who has been accused of murdering her ex-fiancé. Deborah Plummer Bussey introduced readers to a new kind of mystery with her first Sister Nun mystery, and she gives fans the second psychological-social installment of her page-turning series.
