Title: The Seven Sisters
Author: Lucinda Riley
Genre: Historical Fiction
Have you ever tried to look into the stories of your past to discover who you are?
Maia and her five sisters, all adopted as children and named after the stars in the Seven Sisters constellation, gather back at their childhood home after learning of their father's death. It is only after his passing that the six women discover that he has left each of them a clue to their own heritage. Each of the sisters has to search for the courage to take their first steps into the unknown in order to discover their past. This first book of a series, The Seven Sisters follows Maia as she interprets the scraps of information that she has and flies off to Brazil. It is told as almost a split-story, as you get to read about Maia's search as well as the information she discovers and the story of her ancestor's life in the shadow of the planning and creation of the Christ the Redeemer statue at the mountain peak overlooking the town.
Sometimes it is in the discovering the bravery of those who have come before that we can discover our own reasons to embrace all that life presents us, and this is what truly spoke to me while reading Maia's story. I can't wait to read the next story in the series, as Maia's sister Ally searches for her own story in Norway!
