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 Marthaβs 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 Tanglesβ carefully constructed web of lies begins to
unravel. Upon the death of Glory, the familyβs colorful
matriarch, and the return of long-estranged Callie, Ginger
resolves to return to Marthaβs 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 Gingerβs 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
secretsβeven secrets kept out of loveβbut also the courage
it takes to speak the truth, to forgive, and to let go.
