Sister Stories: Bonds That Shape Our Lives

Sister Stories:
Taking The Journey Together/
Bonds That Shape Our Lives

"Sisters are doing it for themselves," sings Annie Lennox. In this classic and far-ranging portrait of sisterhood Peterson explores an hilarious slumber party, a singing duo of sisters about to find their fame, a Zulu tribe of sisters, the chosen sisterhood of Isabel Allende and Tabra Tunoa, and the sisterhood of animals, such as dolphins and elephants. Weaving memoir, research, interviews, and lively storytelling, Peterson celebrates how the feminine can balance and restore our health and survival. Her well-told insights from psychology, mythology, history, and anthropology reveal the enduring alliance of sisterhoods—from childhood bonds to growing old together as Crones.

Praise for Sister Stories:

"A look at sisters 'experiences, points of view, and bonds . . . An inspiring, thought-provoking, and strong book."
The New York Times Book Review

“Peterson's delightful wit, reflective nature, and gutsy truth telling entice and challenge readers to illuminate their own sister stories."
