blood is thicker than water

Sister,Sister by Carmen Jones, Donna Hill, and Janice Sims focuses alot on family. I really enjoyed reading the novel. I realized that arguments will happen between you and your family. That is not a reason to stop talking to them or visiting them. You or your family member can die tommorrow and you will not get the chance to apologize for acting childish. The novel has many problems between family members;some reasons for the problems are unknown. Sister,Sister demonstrates how important your family is. Friends will come and go but your family will always be there for you no matter how terrible the situation may be. There are three different stories that proves this point. From feuding sisters and mothers to distant mothers, love and friendship will always prevail in the end.

blood is thicker than water

This book will open up your eyes to different and better sides of a situation. There were parts when I wanted to cry, parts I laughed about and parts that made me angry. Overall, this is a wonderful book. Sister, Sister written by Donna Hill, Janice Sims and Carmen Jones, demonstrates the importance of family. There are three novels are have different plots but similar themes. While reading this novel I realized that there would always be disputes between you and your family. An argument is not worth losing a friendship over. Family will always be there no matter how bad the situation. Sister, Sister focuses on resolving problems between sisters and mothers. Problems that are unknown as to why or what it happened. In the end, love will always prevail

AWESOME!

Sister, Sister is a book that took my breath away! As a sister of five, I could so relate to the trial and tribulations of the sisters portrayed in the stories. This book was honest. It told the truth about sisterly anger, pain and drama. I was so moved, I bought four copies and mailed them with a sticky note that said 'Which one are you?', to each of my sisters. We haven't laughed and cried so much in years. Sister, Sister did something that I hadn't done in a long time. Remember how blessed I am to have sisters. There's something about these three writers' styles that spoke to me. It was mature and honest. I recommend everyone read the book and give these writer-sisters their due. This book is AWESOME!

great read

I loved this novel. Donna Hill's story about to sisters Angela and Gayla was very heartfelt.They were turned against each other by their mother and had to find away to overcome their anger,jealousy and grief over what happened between them.Carmen's story about one sister Sandra who always took care of her sister and her problems,mainly raising her sisters son which plays a major role in this story between the two sisters Sandra and Lola.Janice story was also wonderful I,had never read anything by her until now Rhonda and her sister Luanne had a lot of making up to do for lost time and a lot of secrets had to come out between the two sisters for them to mend a broken heart.

Worth The Wait!

Having seen the advisterments for Sister, Sister, I waited in anticipation for the book's arrival. Having read this beautifully crafted and superiorly written work, I must now borrow from the old cliche' that "good things are worth waiting for!"Whoever masterminded this grouping of stories by Donna Hill, Janice Sims and Carmen Green should be credited with "pure genius." These three ladies together have created pieces that are as sweet a treat as apple pie and baseball! And just as all Americans love apple pie and baseball, it is but inevitable that all readers will love Sister, Sister!In Sister, Sister, love and forgiveness are the powerful messages that shine through. Hill, Sims and Green all paint very believable pictures of the pains, disappointments and earth-shattering revelations that are often apart of family relationships. These things might destroy the average person, but not the strong-willed heroines in the Sister, Sister Anthology. These heroines possess the spunk, character and fortitude to come through the muddest of waters-with heads still held high and hearts still full of unconditional love.I would highly recommend the reading of Sister, Sister. But I caution readers to keep the soft, throwable objects and tissue close. For the stories have been so powerfully told that they elicit every emotion--from rage to sadness. And in the end...Satisfaction-Guaranteed!
