Descripción editorial
The three Long sisters of Welleswood, New Jersey, felt they could handle any problem, any crisis together…
But suddenly, each was facing the most critical challenge of her life. Andrea, a single mom, was in a fight for survival, against cancer. Madge, who'd once lived a storybook life, needed to find forgiveness—if she ever could—for a husband who'd kept a shocking secret for years. Jenny, pregnant with her third child, longed to keep her husband's dream alive, whatever the sacrifice.
To get through it all, they would have to lean on one another as never before, trusting that their love and hope—and their faith, no matter how far it was tested—would see them through.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Parr (A Place Called Trinity) leaves both St. Martin's and historical fiction with this novel, a mostly successful foray into contemporary inspirational fiction. The heartwarming story stars three middle-aged sisters dealing with the ordinary ins and outs of life. The eldest is Andrea, a widowed real estate agent battling cancer. Next in line is Madge, the well-heeled wife of a businessman, who thrives on taking care of everyone around her. The 42-year-old baby of the family is Jenny, a mother of two who works as a nurse so her husband can stay at home with the kids and try to write a novel. The three sisters rely not only on each other, but also on their solid Christian faith, as they cope with family crises, professional contretemps and even in Andrea's case 50-something dating. Parr is to be commended for her character development; each sister is well differentiated. The novel is also tightly plotted. Each sister faces a trial, and each trial is resolved (perhaps too tidily). That the book ends with a confirmation of traditional gender roles is predictable, but still disappointing. But all in all, this represents another strong offering from Steeple Hill.
