Such Devoted Sisters: A Sister's Treasury

by Mary Engelbreit, Patrick T. Regan

No other relationship matches the closeness, trust, and forever friendship that sisters share. It is a connection that deserves to be both honored and cultivated, and that's just what award-winning illustrator Mary Engelbreit does in Such Devoted A Sister's Treasury. Such Devoted Sisters celebrates sisterhood with a collection of Mary Engelbreit's warm and colorful artwork interspersed with stories, poems, quotations, songs, and verses about sisters by authors such as Christina Rosetti, Charlotte Brontë, Laura Tracy, Louisa May Alcott, Irving Berlin, Margaret Mead, and Shel Silverstein. Mary also shares some of her own cherished memories of the sisters she grew up with and the new "sisters" she's found in dear friends along the way. After all, sisterhood isn't just about families-it's about deep friendship as well. Such Devoted Sisters is the perfect keepsake for sisters of all kinds, and it includes an inside pocket to share a special photograph. This heartwarming collection follows in a tradition of best-selling Mary Engelbreit treasuries, including The Blessings of Friendship, Mother O' Mine, Tiny Teeny Halloweeny Treasury and A Christmas Treasury. Such Devoted Sisters is a special and lasting tribute to one of life's strongest bonds.
