The Alternatives, written by Caoilinn Hughes is a family novel set in Ireland. The four Flattery sisters were orphaned when the oldest sister was 17. Other family members tried to raise them but the girls rebelled. The oldest sister took over guardianship. Now in their 30's, all the sisters have doctorate degrees. When the oldest sister goes missing from her geology professor job, the other three sisters come together to find her. She didn't want to be found. Spending a couple of weeks together they come to realize their bond is still strong and each one of them is successful in life. I enjoyed this charming story about four sisters.
