Starting the day with a cup of coffee, reading an inspirational book, and focusing on family or friends is a positive way to gather the strength needed to face the challenges ahead. Once a person retires there is more time to spend reflecting on the things accomplished in life, and since the routine schedule changes there is time to finish all those projects on your “bucket list”. Questions surface about whether the relatives in your family really knew you as well as they thought. You wonder if children, spouses, and friends realized the importance they played in your life or knew all the things you learned from them. Writing your stories down is more than just a review of your experiences, but it is a picture of your emotional and spiritual soul. In searching through records, there comes a realization many facts are lost and details missing from family history. There are photos found in file folders without labels, dates, or names. You wonder why someone left this puzzle to be found unless these are special pieces in the mystery of someone’s life. So pour a cup of coffee, sit down with this book, think about things in your own journey on life’s path that you would like to pass on to others, and listen to your heart.

In Hey, Sis! The Rebirth of Sistership, three women come together to share their unique perspectives on the challenges, triumphs, and spiritual lessons found in friendships with other women. Blending biblical wisdom, mental health insights, and life experiences, this book offers practical advice for those seeking to build, heal, and deepen their relationships. Each author brings a unique voice to the conversation. One offers a biblical counseling lens, discussing the impact of inner vows, covenant friendships, and the fine balance of boundaries. A mental health therapist tackles topics such as unhealthy expectations and the influence of cancel culture on our connections. Lastly, an educator explores the different types of friendships and how self-awareness can transform how we show up for others. Throughout this journey, the authors reflect on their own struggles—both past and present—learning to apply the very lessons they share with readers. Through raw vulnerability and faith, Hey, Sis! reminds us that God calls us to lean into these relationships, even when they challenge us, because they ultimately shape us into the people we’re meant to become. This is a must-read for any woman seeking to navigate the complexities of friendship with wisdom, grace, and a deeper understanding of her purpose in God’s plan for sisterhood.

Psychological theory has traditionally overlooked or minimized the role of siblings in development, focusing instead on parent-child attachment relationships. The importance of sisters has been even more marginalized. Sue A. Kuba explores this omission in The Role of Sisters in Women's Development, seeking to broaden and enrich current understanding of the psychology of women. This unique work is distinguished by Kuba's phenomenological method of research, rooted in a single prompt: "Tell me about your relationship with your sister." Rich in detail, the responses (many of which are reproduced at length within the book) provide a complex picture of sister relationships across the lifespan. Integrating these stories with current literature about gender and family composition for sisters of difference (disabled and lesbian sisters) and ethnic sisters, this book provides useful recommendations for therapeutic understanding of the significance of sisters in everyday life, integrating diverse perspectives in order to address the ways clinicians can enhance psychological work with women clients. A valuable contribution to the field of mental health, The Role of Sisters in Women's Development is highly recommended for therapists who wish to broaden their inquiry into the sister connection, as well as anyone who wants to further understand the importance of sisterhood.
