Sisterhood, Everlasting
By Ann Brasheres
Loss and redemption. Suffering and joy. Confusion and obfuscation, clarity and purpose. From the depths of despair to the top of the world--that's the journey for Ann Brasheres' girls, the "Septembers" from The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. They don't always recognize the depths of despair when they're in it, but we do. We love these girls too much. We ache for their losses and long to give them a big dose of courage, the one thing they need most. Let's hope they find it on their own.
I call them girls, but they're women in this book. In age, if not in behavior. There's an interesting theme running through the stories--how and when does a person stop thinking of themselves as a child and truly become an adult? There's no one answer here, but there might be a couple of them.
p.s. if you didn't read and love all four Sisterhood novels, I don't think you'll like this.
