The Sunshine Sisters

I wish we had some sunshine today! Rain has been falling steadily since I had to stop mowing the lawn at 10:30 this morning. In any case, I had time to finish The Sunshine Sisters by Jane Green. The three offspring of actress Ronnie Sunshine star in this family drama. Ronnie is somewhat of a narcissist so naturally all three children have issues. In an uncharacteristic act of selflessness, Ronnie maneuvers to repair some of the damage she has done by getting her daughters together again. Ronnie figures the adult daughters could use each others help in navigating their lives. Nell and Meredith are the two older siblings. They took Ronnie's sarcasm and harsh words personally their entire lives. Lizzie, the youngest, had thicker skin or maybe she is too much like her mother to let anything or anyone bother her. The manner these three women fight and make up, over and over, is believable and entertaining.
