They definitely have not lost their fire and spunk! Join Evelyn, Tessa, Accosta, and Mae as they face the challenges and opportunities that come with being mature, feisty females. You can be assured that their bond of sisterhood and faith never fails.

I really enjoyed catching up with the ladies of Peerbaugh Place. it's just amazing how circumstances lead us to where and what God has purposed for us. The author captured aging and changes from losing spouses to moving into senior living together to reconnecting with disconnected kids. I loved all of the scriptures at the beginning of each chapter and Accosta's simple worry box - she writes her worries and places them in a box. When answered she tears them into pieces and shakes them together with other answered prayers. I'm going to start doing this as well. The woes of aging but makes me always remember to be yourself, make new friends, but keep the old because some are silver and the others are gold. I cherish my friends from 60 years ago. My Scottie Sista's. My sister circle.
Nancy Moser's Sister series really spoke to me. I enjoy having the Bible verses at the beginning of a chapter and according to the Bible verse I enjoy guessing what is going to happen in the chapter. Senior Sisters take place a number of years later. We still have all the main characters and added a few more. It's the new characters a few that are just that, characters. Through friendships and prayer, Happy Trails, new addresses, old addresses and children, Senior Sisters is the book to read!!
I just can't do it. I read the first four books in this series, and despite the mediocre writing and heavy-handed preachiness, I liked the characters reasonably well. But I just can't get through this one. I'm bored out of my mind. It's been a few years since I read the others, and maybe that's part of it. I've forgotten a lot of their back stories. I also like stories with older protagonists, and I love stories celebrating friendships among women, especially intergenerational friendships, but his book really misses all the marks for me.
I have read the first four books in this series twice and enjoyed each one. I also love the concept of the Sister Circle. This book had me wanting to know more of what happened to of some of the key characters from the previous books such as Audra and Russell. This book did deal with some hard topics such as getting older, death, and grief. If you read the first four, I would read this one too.
This is an excellent book that proves no matter your age we all have something to offer to another. God puts us where we can help others. Sometimes it is just listening to them and sometimes it is in a more physical capacity. Listen to God and truly live wherever you find yourself.
I purchased this ebook from Kindle. I had read the first four from the public library.
This Sister Circle book takes place 10 years after the fourth book. In that one, Evelyn opened up her boarding house to people who needed to stay for hospital reasons. In this book, Evelyn and her best friends go to a retirement home. You meet new characters and find out what has happened since we last met them ten years ago. Lots of faith based lessons and people continue to learn and grow in their lives.
This series just gives me warm feelings about community and belonging. And most importantly, how God is always part of the plan. The coziest of a series of books.
This book is based on fact and truth. It is easy to relate to these women who are all in their “mature” years. The feelings are all here. Nancy Moser is an excellent writer and one of my favorites.
It made me think of how it will be if I ever move into a retirement home. How it will be to lose my husband of 60 years. Just what is coming in the future. What to do or not to do. Very thoughtful read!
If you are looking for a great read about people that are not young, this one is good to pick up. Each character is unique and you will love them even if you are frustrated with them too.
I've read all the series and loved every single one of them. With me in my 60's getting ready to retire these are so close to truth. I loved the poem at the end of the book.
I’ve been on vacation this week & have read all 5 of these books!!! They will keep you entertained, make you laugh, even shed a tear, but you will not want to put it down!!
I don't know if younger readers would enjoy this book but I sure did! At 76 so much of what the characters experienced mirrored my life. So glad God is at the center!
Enjoyed catching up with this group as they learn to continue trusting God is their next next stage of life. I probably did not enjoy this book as much as I enjoyed the others in the series
This is such a fun series to read. SENIOR SISTERS is the 5th and final book in this series. This book especially hit home as I am one of those seniors that may soon be looking for a retirement community. Lots of laughs, lots of fun.
Good story. While I'm not fond of virtual voice this one wasn't bad. I could tell which character was talking and it wasn't totally monotone. The story follows characters as they enter a retirement center and why. Kay lost her husband to another woman. She tried apartment living but she was miserable so she decided to try Happy Trails and reinvent herself. She thought maybe if she dressed different, changed her name and story she wouldn't be so invisible but not how she planned. Evelyn and Wally were tired of caring for the big house and rehabbing folks so they finally went to Happy Trails. Different stories, different people but in the end it came down to aging and needing people and a simpler life.
