Ladies of the Lake by Haywood SmithMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
3.5/5.0 - Enjoyable read about four sisters - Dahlia, Iris, Violet and Rose, who must spend the summer together at their deceased grandmother's lake house, in order to inherit it. Dahlia, the primary character is recently divorced and her husband has run off with their teenage son to avoid prosecution, leaving her broke and alone. The sisters range in age from Rose, the youngest at 52 to Dahlia, the oldest at 60. I liked the fact that this was a story about mature women, and sibling interactions. There were two sets of siblings in the story. The sisters, and the Slocum siblings. The Slocums, including Clete, who is the hero of the story are tightly bound and supportive of each other. The sisters, have issues going way back to childhood, and that is part of the reason the grandmother puts this condition on the inheritance.
While I'm not sure you would classify this as Christian fiction, faith is very important to both Dahlia and Clete (view spoiler).
