Cathy Lamb, the acclaimed author of Julia's Chocolates and The Last Time I Was Me, delivers her most heartwarming novel to date as three sisters reunite during a family crisis.
Ever since the Bommarito sisters were little girls, their mother, River, has written them a letter on pink paper when she has something especially important to impart. And this time, the message is urgent and impossible to ignore--River requires open-heart surgery, and Isabelle and her sisters are needed at home to run the family bakery and take care of their brother and ailing grandmother.
Isabelle has worked hard to leave Trillium River, Oregon, behind as she travels the globe taking award-winning photographs. It's not that Isabelle hates her family. On the contrary, she and her sisters Cecilia, an outspoken kindergarten teacher, and Janie, a bestselling author, share a deep, loving bond. And all of them adore their brother, Henry, whose disabilities haven't stopped him from helping out at the bakery and bringing good cheer to everyone in town.
But going home again has a way of forcing open the secrets and hurts that the Bommaritos would rather keep tightly closed--Isabelle's fleeting and too-frequent relationships, Janie's obsessive compulsive disorder, and Cecilia's self-destructive streak and grief over her husband's death. Working together to look after Henry and save their flagging bakery, Isabelle and her sisters begin to find answers to questions they never knew existed, unexpected ways to salve the wounds of their childhoods, and the courage to grasp surprising new chances at happiness.
Poignant, funny, and as irresistible as one of the Bommarito sisters' delicious giant cupcakes, Henry's Sisters is a novel about family and forgiveness, about mothers and daughters, and about gaining the wisdom to look ahead while still holding tight to everything that matters most.
Outstanding Praise For Cathy Lamb And Her Novels
The Last Time I Was Me
"Charming." --Publishers Weekly
Julia's Chocolates
"Julia's Chocolates is wise, tender, and very funny. In Julia Bennett, Cathy Lamb has created a deeply wonderful character, brave and true. I loved this beguiling novel about love, friendship and the enchantment of really good chocolate." --Luanne Rice, New York Times bestselling author
"In Julia's Chocolates, Cathy Lamb has created a passel of characters so weirdly wonderful that you want to hang out with them all day just to see what they'll do next. It's a ride that's both hilarious and poignant, and all the while you cling to the edge of the pickup truck because you'll want to make sure you stay in for the whole trip." --Amy Wallen, author of Moonpies and Movie Stars

reviewed Henry's Sisters on March 15, 2011 Henry's Sisters
In my not-so-humble opinion, Cathy Lamb may well be one of the best, most creative fiction writers in the last 10 or more years. Her stories are brutal and honest; and they're heartbreaking at the same time as they are hilarious. She pulls at your heartstrings, while simultaneously tickling your funny bone. Simply stated, her books are like your favorite dessert. You can't wait to dive in and eat every last bite of it, at the same time that you want to savor it slowly to enjoy every last morsel.
I've read all of Cathy Lamb's books and, after each book, I swear that what I just read was my favorite. Until I pick up the next one. Each book is so well-written that it's hard to even declare a favorite. Each book is unique and lovely.
Henry's Sisters has all of the elements I've come love in her books. It contains all of the humor and heartbreak, the characters are quirky, and yet this one is different in that the only way I can describe it is to say that it's "beautiful."
Henry's sisters is about love and family. It's about pain and healing, as well as forgiveness, understanding and acceptance.
Without revealing too much about this book, I'll tell you that Henry is the anchor that keeps his family together. It is the family's shared love of Henry, and Henry's love of the world around him, that allows his family - his sisters in particular - to survive through their nightmarish childhood and the subsequent mental instability with which each of his family members is afflicted.
Family relationshipa can be difficult. They can be frustrating and confusing and even filled with strife and near hate. But, at the end of the day when your friends have gone home and your feet have been kicked from beneath you, your family will always be there to lean on and provide you the necessary support to make it through another day.
