An emergency homecoming forces three sisters to deal with issues theyâd rather ignore in this touching novel by the author of All About Evie.
Ever since the Bommarito sisters were little girls, their mother, River, has written them a letter on pink paper when she has something especially important to impart. This time, the message is urgentâRiver requires open-heart surgery, and Isabelle and her sisters are needed at home to run the family bakery and care for their brother and ailing grandmother.
Isabelle has worked hard to leave Trillium River, Oregon, behind as she travels the globe taking award-winning photographs. Still, she and her sisters, Cecilia, an outspoken kindergarten teacher, and Janie, a bestselling author, share a deep, loving bond. And all of them adore their brother, Henry, whose disabilities havenât stopped him from helping at the bakery and bringing good cheer to everyone in town. But going home again forces open the secrets and hurts the Bommaritos would rather keep tightly closedâIsabelleâs fleeting relationships, Janieâs obsessive compulsive disorder, and Ceciliaâs plans to get even with her cheating ex-husband. Now, working together, Isabelle and her sisters begin to find answers to questions they never knew existed, unexpected ways to salve their childhood wounds, and the courage to grasp surprising new chances at happiness.
As irresistible as one of the Bommaritosâ giant cupcakes, Henryâs Sisters is a novel about family and forgiveness, mothers and daughtersâand gaining the wisdom to look ahead while still holding onto everything that matters most.
âThis finely pitched family melodrama is balanced with enough gallows humor and idiosyncratic characters to make it positively irresistible.â âPublishers Weekly
