Loving your sisters is easy. Liking them is the hard part. After her cheating husband destroys her career, Brenna has nowhere to go but home. Home means her four sisters in the tiny Northern Ontario town with no Starbucks and well-meaning townsfolk who know her every move. Every mistake. And Brenna is making more than a few mistakes. From falling asleep at the local bar to hooking up with her niece’s boyfriend, Brenna’s life is giving the town a lot to talk about. Her sister Cat wants nothing to do with her. Content living in the family home with the ghost of their mother, Cat’s left a trail of broken hearts and failed marriages on the road to Brenna’s ex, Seamus Todd. Brenna’s return brings back old insecurities and unanswered questions for Cat. Sibling rivalries, old grudges and a least one knock-out, drag-down kitchen fight ensue as Brenna and Cat are forced to live under the same roof. And to make it worse, Brenna’s not the only one coming home.

It’s been eight months since Maggie’s husband died and she’s doing fine–if you don’t count the strange wish to jump over the grave at the funeral, the weekly chats with Mike’s ghost, and the possible assault charge from the woman she punched in the FoodMart. Maggie thinks she’s doing just fine. Her sisters have been there to help but as the oldest, Maggie is used to being the one they lean on, not the other way around. And then comes the week that changes everything. Grown daughters coming home with babies and boyfriends, not to mention wayward sister Dory, looking to make trouble. There’s even a new man in town who thinks Maggie’s ready to move on. And why is this time for Maggie to decide to find her real mother? Like everything else she’s faced, Maggie has dealt with her mother issues. Having the ghost of the woman who raised her has been enough. What does it take for Maggie to realize that she’s not fine–she’s barely hanging on? But she has her sisters ready to help–if they don’t make things worse.
