Three sisters with very different lives. Callie is the
sister that one day just up and disappeared. Mimi the sister
who never sits still, always having to have something to do.
Ginger will never take risks; things always have to be
perfect with her. Add to this family their mother Gloria who
is in the late stage of dementia.
Ginger has been having a very hard time with her daughter
Julia. Julia doesn't want to go to college; instead, she
is going with her boyfriend to basically live off the
streets. Ginger is completely against this but has no choice
as Julia is eighteen. While all this is going on, Gloria
has passed away, leaving a will that leaves all the girls a
house. The funny part is none of them knew about this house,
except it was a place that they visited when they were
young. A summer house.
Ginger and Mimi really don't want to go back there as this
is where their brother drowned when the sand collapsed on
him. There has always been some secret as to what else
happened that day. As the two sisters arrive at the house,
they find that their sister Callie has lived there for
several years. Callie is not the same person that they
remember. In fact, Callie is a little strange.
Can these three sisters get past all of the secrets that
have been kept from them?
Sometimes secrets will cause a problem in a family. In
SISTERS, ONE, TWO, THREE, it is not the same secret but a
big one. I really enjoyed how Nancy Star showed the
compassion between these sisters. Even though they are
completely different, in the end, family always comes first.
I also enjoyed the way Star moved the story from past to
present. For me, it completely explains the whole storyline.
It doesn't matter how long family especially sisters take
to reconnect. I lost both of my sisters, would have liked
nothing more than to be connected again with them. If you
have one sister or ten, SISTERS, ONE, TWO, THREE is a great
story.
After a tragic accident on Martha’s Vineyard, keeping
secrets becomes a way of life for the Tangle family. With
memories locked away, the sisters take divergent paths.
Callie disappears, Mimi keeps so busy she has no time to
think, and Ginger develops a lifelong aversion to risk that
threatens the relationships she holds most dear.
When a whispered comment overheard by her rebellious teenage
daughter forces Ginger to reveal a long-held family secret,
the Tangles’ carefully constructed web of lies begins to
unravel. Upon the death of Glory, the family’s colorful
matriarch, and the return of long-estranged Callie, Ginger
resolves to return to Martha’s Vineyard and piece together
what really happened on that calamitous day when a shadow
fell over four sun-kissed siblings playing at the shore.
Along with Ginger’s newfound understanding come the keys to
reconciliation: with her mother, with her sisters, and with
her daughter.
At turns heartbreaking, humorous, and hopeful, Sisters One,
Two, Three explores not only the consequences of
secrets—even secrets kept out of love—but also the courage
it takes to speak the truth, to forgive, and to let go.
