At Electric Lit Dick tagged "seven books that show the many ways a 'long-lost' sister can be found." One title on the list:
Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano

The four Padavano sisters—ambitious Julia, starry-eyed Sylvie, passionate Cecilia, and caring Emeline—feel most like themselves when they’re together. They’ve grown up under one (admittedly chaotic) roof with their Catholic Italian parents, sharing even their most closely-guarded secrets with one another. Then Julia marries a college basketball player named William, and the ensuing chain of events causes a decades-long rift the sisters could’ve never previously imagined.
