Very cute book, but I wouldn't get this book if you are currently dealing with cancer or death. Saying that doesn't give the book away or anything, but if you were living either of those and wanted an escape this is not the book.

Cute book dealing with loss, parenting and sisterhood.

Okay, it must be me. After reading the reviews and putting this book on my Wish List, I couldn't wait to read it once it arrived. What a disappointment. I could not get into the book at all. I found it tedious and boring and finally gave up after 25 or so pages. I could not get a sense of the characters and found the chapter titles and hair color descriptions for each sister silly. I likely will not read any of this author's books in the future.

Cute read. I thought this book was okay, but as I have read some of the author's newer books, this is not my favorite. This book has more levels than a typical chick-lit book, as it deals with health issues, sickness, and loss.

Quick read about a woman and her sisters who deal with life as they best know how to. Emily, the main character is trying to get herself back together after the death of her husband. Her older sisters are dealing with relationships that have gone sour while trying to help their younger sister move on. I found this to be a quick and enjoyable novel and plan to read more from the author Eileen Rendahl.

My first book by this author....it was very touching in places & I liked it.

The author starts each chapter with the mixture of hair colors for the sisters' monthly dye job night with a little note...thought that was cute.

I'd read this author again if I came across any more of her books.
