The Dean Sisters Michael Thomas Corrigan

Two sisters, Jessica and Gerry Dean, create a riveting tale of two very different lives. Jessica Dean, 24 and a Gulf War hero, dies in a car crash, leaving behind Roland Dean, a grieving father and former cop. Mickey Gilmore, a screenwriter, investigates Jessica's past and finds her journal describing battles and revealing a clandestine love affair with a celebrated older general hiding a secret of his own. Mickey meets a beautiful woman named Rosalyn Jackson; together, they explore the possibility of producing Jessica's story on the big screen. Mickey Gilmore is also Godfather to Jessica's rebellious half-sister, Gerry. A fatal confrontation with gang members ultimately leads to Gerry Dean's unexpected recovery. In Hollywood, Mickey seeks gold at the Emmys with the unfolding stories of the Dean Sisters. Like another famous Dean, Jessica's story does not end in death, and her poignant legacy forces a new evaluation of a tragic family.
