Three Sisters

Andi Gordon is left at the altar and responds on impulse: she buys one of the three Queen Anne houses on Blackberry Island known as the Three Sisters. Hers is the ugliest of the trio. It needs a major renovation, and so does her life.

Next door, Deanna Phillips suspects her husband of having an affair and decides to confront him. Doing so brings a wider unhappiness into the open. Deanna has spent years trying to be the perfect woman, and somewhere along the way she has lost track of herself. If nothing changes, her whole family is at risk.

The third neighbour is Boston King, an artist who once believed she would stay married to her college sweetheart for good. A tragedy has left her unsure. She and her husband now have to decide whether to move forward together or apart.

This is women's fiction told through three characters whose lives are bound up by where they live and by a close friendship. Each woman faces a crisis in love or marriage and has to work out what she is made of. The tone mixes humor with sadness, and the focus stays on friendship and the rebuilding of lives.
