Description of the Gifts of Sisterhood book’s contents.

“We give and receive gifts, but the gifts that keep on giving – Faith Courage, Love, Friendship, Happiness, Acceptance – to name a few – are the gifts my 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’s first book, Gifts of Sisterhood, is an inspirational portrait of a relationship of two sisters who were friends, confidants and soul mates. The book shows wit, courage and faith during times of need and challenge, as well as insight into a philosophy of life worth emulating by inspiring you to write about your gifts. Patricia takes you from the Mackinac area of Michigan, where they grew up in small town Americana, to their roots in County Tipperary, Ireland. The journey is fresh and uplifting, moving and generous in its account of this sister’s perspective of a life worth remembering, and of the words her sister lived by.
