Gifts of Sisterhood

We give and receive gifts, but the gifts that keep on giving - faith, courage, love, friendship, happiness and acceptance - are the gifts Patricia Brooks' youngest sister gave so freely. Too often it takes a life-changing experience to recognize what we already have, affirm what we already know, welcome what is given to us, and share it with others. Patricia is a "sibling survivor" of the #2 killer of women today. While rejoicing in her sister's memory, she preserves her story and important legacy.
Through emotional healing Patricia takes you on a journey of love and friendship, grief and acceptance as she gives her sister's spirit back to their "roots" in County Tipperary, Ireland. You will learn to awaken the compassion within you, forgive yourself when facing life's challenges, find the hidden gift of hope in your life, and have faith that nothing happens in God's world by mistake.
Patricia reveals her upbeat and insightful personal story of the relationship she had with her youngest sister: her friend, her confidante, her soul mate. Their lives constantly intertwined, both growing up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and living 2,500 miles apart as adults. Now God takes you on the journey from grief to gratitude to a place of inspiration and acceptance. The faith Patricia has that her sister's life was not in vain calls her to share her gifts with you. By embracing her sister's wit, charm, and beauty she weaves together a meaningful story of love and courage you can reflect upon as you travel your own life's path.
In memory of her sister, a portion of the proceeds of this book goes to the hospice serving Mackinac County, Michigan.
