Tabitha and husband Perry are at the centre of an unusual family. Part of an open adoption involving birth mother Brianna, they are the adoptive parents of twins Tate and Taylor. The twins’ older sister, Phoebe, is being raised by Ginger, who was helping with reading at her school when their grandmother died.
Baby Violet arrived later, and went into the care of Elizabeth and John after their latest IVF round failed.
The families are raising the kids to be around one another on a regular basis. Now with Tabitha arranging their first group vacation to Aspen, Brianna reveals that she’s expecting again. Does this mean they will have to introduce yet another family to the mix?
This was a fascinating read about siblings raised in different households and the fragile relations between the adults, made all the more personal when discovering the author adopted her son.
The Weird Sisters centres around the Andreas family - the father is a
professor who only talks in Shakespearean language and has named his three daughters after the Bard's characters Rosalind, Bianca and Cordelia. The three sisters - who go by the names Rose, Bean and Cordy - return to their childhood home when their mother finds out she has breast cancer.
Rose has always assumed responsibility as the oldest of the sisters. She is stuck between her dream job in Barnwell or moving to England for two years with her fiance. Will Rose choose her career over love?
Bean, who has been fired for embezzlement, has moved back home as a last resort. Will she be able to move on with her life when she's offered the job as Barnwell's librarian and when it comes to guys will she choose Edward or the new father Aiden?
Cordy has come home with a secret - she's pregnant. When she finds love with Dan, owner of the local coffee shop, will it last or will he be off like a shot when he discovers she carrying someone else's baby?
In this story of love, forgiveness and the real meaning of sisterhood, Eleanor Brown has done an amazing job expressing the different personalities. (PP)
