Gifts of Sisterhood:
a journey on to your own

Like all family relationships, the bond that entwines sisters unites and detaches, brings comfort and causes resistance. In the portrait and memoir of her youngest sister, Gifts of Sisterhood, Patricia L. Brooks details the love she shared with her sister as they journeyed through childhood in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to the gifts she received in adulthood some 2,000 miles away in Arizona. How they endured the good and the bad, the sadness and the joy, the difficulties and the delightful, the challenges and finally the peace that comes only with God’s grace.

“We can learn so much about being women from our sisters in a way no one else can teach us—not our mothers, not psychologists—no one but our ‘sister siblings,’” Brooks says. “We see our sisters as an extension of ourselves. They are who we are in some way. It was so evident with my sister when I needed her, and when she needed me. I will always be grateful for the gift of compassion and being able to give that part of myself to her. Her gifts I received I now freely give to you in this book, her legacy.”

Testimonial on the book from Dr. Beverly A. Browning, University of Phoenix professor and author of Grant Writing for Dummies:

“I purchased your book from Author House and it arrived in time for me to take with me to Ellensburg, Washington. I started and finished your book in a reading marathon—it was absolutely too good, too inspirational, too ‘real life and touching’ to stop reading!

“Girlfriend, I am so proud of you! Thank you for giving me a glimpse of your early life, your lifelong sisterhood gifts, and where you are today. I will be forever grateful because you have touched the lives of so many.”
