Description
The early sixties was a time of making love, not war. Kathleen finds love and starts a war with her family. Four Sisters is a story rich in the relationships of Kathleen Williams' life. Kathleen discovers her sexuality in the sixties. She's different from other girls her age and afraid her sisters, especially her closest sister, Deborah, will never understand. When Kathleen reveals her love for a woman, her worst fears are realized—she’s banished from her home and family. Forty odd years later, Kathleen is diagnosed with a terminal illness. Susan, her lifelong partner, encourages her to make peace with her family. Kathleen's journey, now, includes rebuilding her relationship with her sisters and parents, as well as the battle of her life. Her only chance for peace is to find acceptance.

The author did a great job in showing the struggles that someone estranged from their family has when they realize how badly they need that support system. This book also showed the impact that rejection from family causes. This was a great character driven book.

A story of acceptance of self and acceptance of family. 1 of 4 sisters comes out as a Lesbian. A story of how it effects her life, her parents and her sisters. It takes a tragedy to get to that point of acceptance by most. It was a moving story that brought tears> I highly recommend this book. Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read an advance copy.

I received an ARC of this novel from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Kathleen finds love and loses her family in the bargain. Times change, acceptance comes, and the sisters make peace.

A very engrossing story. A good look at the 60's, a view onto the world of one family raising 4 girls. We follow Kathleen as she navigates high school, college adult life and how her choices affected the fabric of her family., the first part of the story is told in flashbacks, and then we meet up with modern day Kathleen,. Then the story takes on a very emotional turn and There were parts of the ending that broke my heart. I am not happy with the finale scene.
I have to say that I was quite disappointed with her father and her sisters. There were some repetitions n the dialogue that were a little annoying,
