Sisters with a Side of Greens

Author: Michelle Stimpson

Genre: Fiction

Rating: ★★★★★

This simple story of two sisters is packed with so much complexity. Michelle Stimpson has written a beautiful narrative of familial love. Rose is retired and ready to move on to another chapter of her life, but she needs the help of her sister Marvina and their mama’s secret recipe to move forward. 

Marvina is content and set in her ways back home working for the church and giving back to her community. When Rose returns, her perception of past events is challenged. 

Throw in a pregnant teen at Christmas time, and we have a beautiful story of how family is sometimes chosen instead of born into. 

These two have their happy ever afters, and they work towards it with grace and love.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC.
