How to read the Sisterhood Series in Order?

Every novel in the Sisterhood book series works as a standalone story, but the lives of the different characters evolve from one novel to the other.

  1. Weekend Warriors – Life isn’t fair. Most women know it. But what can you do about it? Plenty…if you’re part of the Sisterhood.
