The Weird Sisters - Eleanor Brown
          Debut Novel

I have to say  I did not like this book.  The most interesting thing was it was told in first person plural,  so it seemed like all of the sisters were telling the story.

The sisters, Rose, Bean, and Cordy, all come home when their mother is diagnosed with breast cancer. But they are so consumed with their own failures that they are really not much help or comfort.  They also spend a lot of time on the characteristics of birth order. The ending was a littler too pat.

I did like one quote by Father Aiden-------
  "There are times in our lives when we have to realize our past is precisely what it is, and we can not change it. But we can change the story we tell ourselves about it, and by doing that, we can change the furture."
