The Sister Circle by Vonette Bright and Nancy Moser was such a delight to read. I’m excited to read the rest of the series!

I just realized this morning that we’re almost to the end of the month and I haven’t posted a M. Judson 2023 reading challenge post yet. Luckily, this month’s challenge was “purely for entertainment.”

I’ve been finishing up reading Good Boundaries and Good-byes by Lysa Teurkhurst with a friend, which is a very heavy read. The book includes notes from Lysa’s counselor, Jim Cress, on setting healthy boundaries, which is helpful.

So I needed something lighter to read, and this book was in Kindle Unlimited (link to a free trial), so I decided to give it a try. I love the teacups on the cover. I guess I’m looking forward to cooler weather, and was in the mood for a cozy read. I didn’t realize until reading the author’s note at the end that Vonette Bright was the wife of Bill Bright, the founder of Campus Crusade for Christ (now called CRU). CRU at Clemson was a huge part of my college life, and in it my faith grew tremendously. So seeing that connection was really neat.

Here’s the Setup of The Sister Circle

“Suddenly widowed with no means of support, Evelyn Peerbaugh hangs a “for rent” sign in front of her large Victorian home and her life changes in ways she never dreamed of. In a matter of days she becomes the owner of a busy boardinghouse and must now cope with the lives and emotions of the most incompatible group of women ever gathered under one roof. How will Evelyn manage? What will her future be like now? “The Sister Circle,” Book One of this charming contemporary series, introduces Peerbaugh Place, the quaint Victorian house that becomes a refuge to seven women of vastly different ages, personalities, and backgrounds. This heartwarming and timeless story reveals their struggles and triumphs, as the women forge a special bond of sisterhood and come together through faith and love.”

Age Recommendation

I would recommend this book for high school and up.
