This is the first Sisterchicks book I have read. Sisterchicks
in Gondolas by Robin Jones Guinn is about 2 women who embark on a journey to
Italy: One a divorced lady with a grown
daughter and her sister-in-law who has had her share of struggles in the past
few years.
The book is about mentally healing from various events in
each of the ladies lives. Jenna is asked to cook and serve some men who are
coming to Italy for a retreat. Jenna doesn’t have the greatest cooking skills
and knows that her more timid sister-in-law could use the trip and also has the
cooking skills needed.
The retreat, although for the men, helps Jenna and Sue heal
from their struggles. They learn much about their own lives by watching and
serving the men. They get to learn how wonderful it is to serve others but they
also get to explore Italy. In the end they know what they must do with their
lives. I really enjoyed reading this book. It was somehow calming to me as I
read it. I felt as though I could be riding in a gondola in Venice right along
with them. The author did such a wonderful job describing the sights, sounds,
and smells of Venice. I could imagine myself walking through the streets. The only negative thing that I could say about
this book is that it made me a little jealous that I couldn’t be on this trip
with them.
You can purchase this book here.
