Henry's Sisters

Henry's Sisters by Cathy Lamb

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


What does a mom do, left with 3 young daughters and a special-needs son, when her beloved husband walks away after waking up to his hands strangling her neck. (Vietnam flashbacks) No education, no training, and too proud to take a handout, she dances and turns tricks to unsuccessfully feed her children. Meet the dysfunctional Bommarito family - you will fall in love, laugh, and cry with these crazy, quirky, gritty, characters who try to forget their traumatic childhood.



Characters:

Sweet, lovable, Henry, you will want to claim as your own.

Fraternal twins, Isabelle - nymphomaniac and Cecelia - self-destructive.

Janie - obsessive/compulsive recluse, taps and counts to cope.

River - Mother Bommarito, unable to give and share love, except to her son, Henry.

Grandma - believes she is Amelia Earhart.



Heavy use of profanity and violence.
