Product Description:
The Sister Circle, book one of this charming contemporary series, introduces Peerbaugh Place, the quaint Victorian house that becomes a refuge to seven women of vastly different ages, personalities, and backgrounds. When Evelyn Peerbaugh hung the ancient sign in front of her house, she had no idea how life was about to change. In a matter of days, she became the newly widowed owner of a busy boardinghouse, trying to cope with the lives and emotions of the most incompatible group of women ever gathered under one roof. Through struggles and triumphs, the women forge a special bond of sisterhood. Readers will find their own place in the circle, gaining insight into their own spiritual gifts, as they laugh and cry with each of these women.

I have not read many books in the Christian Fiction genre; and the one I have read was very preachy. So I was a little sceptical when I purchased this book. How wrong I was!!! This book is like curling up with a wonderful hot cup of cocoa, or your favourite tub of Haagen-Daaz ice cream; you savour every minute and are really sad when it's finished. Which is exactly how I felt about this book. There are lessons to be learnt for everyone, but they are very subtle and not "in your face". The story and different characters really make you think about your own behaviour, thoughts, reactions in certain situations etc.
With so much negativity whenever you turn on the TV, or read the papers, this book provided some "realistic" escapism for me,so much so, that I have ordered the other books in the series. It just leaves a nice warm feeling in your heart when you finish.

This is a fun and joyous read about a group of women living in a boarding house who discover what real sisterhood means. It is sweet, but not saccharine, compassionate and helpful, but most of all fun. A friend's husband read it and just could not stop laughing. Everyone I have loaned it to has loved it.

Okay, I bought this book because it was on sale and its premise reminded me of Penelope Stokes books. And when I started it, I was not sure I would finish it. But then I started to care about the characters and I do want to know what happens to them. I cared enough to buy the rest of the series lol although I plan to donate the set to my church library.

THE SISTER CIRCLE is predictable, but still a pleasant read. The premise has a new widow, Evelyn Peerbaugh taking borders into her home.
Evelyn is amazed that within a short time after putting up her "Rooms 4 Rent" sign, women are coming to inquire about her boarding house. The women that she rents to are all very different and from the very beginning there are personality clashes among them. Evelyn is a good person, but finds it hard to be decisive and make house rules. Mae is an old hippy who lives in her own world. Tessa is sanctimonious and preachy. Audra tries so hard to make a good life for herself and her daughter that she is unbending. Finally, her daughter Summer is a sweet child doing her best to be the perfect daughter that her mother requires. Several other women are also brought into the mix. Two of the characters are professed Christians and many of the problems that the ladies face are solved with words from the Bible. I thought that the character descriptions of the women were well done. My biggest problem with the story was the interaction between the characters. They were often too blunt with one another and seemed to feel that they had the right to offer advice or ask questions that were much too personal. Those parts of the story were very unbelievable and rather annoying.
