My Review

The Thomas Sisters: A Family Drama is a collection of interwoven stories from Kathryn Spurgeon. These stories tell about five sisters which include: Mary Bobbie, Sally Matilda, Susie May, Jennie Rue, and Annie Crump. I loved meeting each one and keeping to know them. I thought they were inspirational and relatable. I could not pick which one of them I would choose as a favorite. I thought this was a great book to read and a great way to spend on the cold, snowy days.

Five stars is what I am giving The Thomas Sisters: A Family Drama. I recommend it for fans of clean historical fiction. As always, I look forward to reading more inspiring tales from author, Kathryn Spurgeon.

I received a paperback copy of Kathryn Spurgeon's The Thomas Sisters: A Family Drama from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
