The Christmas Sisters by Sarah Morgan Book Review

The lowdown from Goodreads

Publication Date September 25, 2018

In the snowy Highlands of Scotland, Suzanne McBride is dreaming of the perfect cozy Christmas. Her three adopted daughters are coming home for the holidays and she can’t wait to see them. But tensions are running high…

Workaholic Hannah knows she can’t avoid spending the holidays with her family two years in a row. But it’s not the weight of their expectations that’s panicking her—it’s the life-changing secret she’s hiding. Stay-at-home mom Beth is having a personal crisis. All she wants for Christmas is time to decide if she’s ready to return to work—seeing everyone was supposed to help her stress levels, not increase them! Posy isn’t sure she’s living her best life, but with her parents depending on her, making a change seems risky. But not as risky as falling for gorgeous new neighbor Luke…

As Suzanne’s dreams of the perfect McBride Christmas unravel, she must rely on the magic of the season to bring her daughters together. But will this new togetherness teach the sisters that their close-knit bond is strong enough to withstand anything—including a family Christmas? 

The Christmas Sisters by Sarah Morgan Book Review

Scotland at Christmas time, 3 sisters brought together, each one in a crisis. Throw in a cafe that hosts a knitting night & baked goods that are to die for. Oh, I’m not finished yet! There’s also, a sleigh ride with a pony, mountain climbers, secrets, career changes & adventure. In my best Britney Spears vice, Gimme Gimme More.

A Scottish Family Christmas

First thing, I’m in love with the McBride family. Like, serious love here folks. I hope there’s room at their Scotland home because I am moving in. I will help Posy water the Christmas tree named Eric, help Suzanne cover shifts in the cafe & I’ll make sure Stewart has plenty of single malt scotch on hand at all times!

It’s The Most Stressful Time of the Year

We know all families have their issues, right? Well, the McBride family survived a horrific event. Just because they survived it, doesn’t mean they are not affected by the fallout. Every Christmas, feelings, hurt, anguish & despair come rolling in waves. Each member of the McBride family deals with his or her grief in a different way. But, when you stick them all in a snowed-in house during the most festive (and the most stressful) time of year, feelings float to the surface.

Sisterly Love

I do not have sisters, so I am forever in search of sisterhood type of stories. I love the dynamic between Posy, Hannah & Beth. When I read the synopsis for The Christmas Sisters, I knew the sisters were adopted. What I didn’t realize is they all share the same biological mother & father. This lends itself to creating a different type of relationship between the sisters and their adoptive parents. I love how Sarah Morgan explores the delicate nature of this type of parent-child relationship.

THE VERDICT

I am Really Into This book! The Christmas Sisters leaves me feeling warm inside. Sarah Morgan weaves a sweet & satisfying tale about love, families & healing nestled during Christmas in Scotland. What more could you want? Oh, I know; more holiday books! Please give me your favorite holiday reads!
