Book Reviews of Sisterchicks in Gondolas (Sisterchicks Series #6)
Book Review: How to turn things around
Summary: 4 Stars
While I loved the setting because Venice is one of my favorite cities, I found there was a message in this book that is extremely helpful to those who feel of no use because of circumstances.
First off, setting this story in Venice was just perfect. Venice is a place usually considered a great romantic get-a-way, but in this story the love is with God. Jenna and Sue expand their relationship with God, and each fall in love with his blessings over again. Jenna even comes to the conclusion at the end that she can be of use more in the service than she thought, and everyone should take this to heart. That when you feel you are of no use, just look around and there is always an opportunity. Sometimes staring you in the face, and sometimes not that obvious.
It was so wonderful to read about the two friends adventures in this lovely city. I also enjoyed reading about the visits to the market and the baker. For me this is what is great about Venice and other European cities. Also, the Gelatto....makes me want some right now!
I recommend this for all those sisterchicks out there who want an arm chair adventure, and who dream of far away lands and will one day share their own adventure in the place of her choice with her sisterchick(s).
Summary of Sisterchicks in Gondolas (Sisterchicks Series #6)
Sisterchicks Take the Boot! (and we don't mean shoe thievery)Jenna and Sue have been sisters-in-law for nearly thirty years but inseparable friends for only the last five. When Jenna is invited to a week's stay at a fifteenth century restored palace on a quiet canal in Venice , Sue is her travel companion of choice. The catch? They must cook for a group that is staying at the palace for a retreat. It's the first time Sue has been this far from home, and both women are coming out of a valley season of life where they operated each day in long shadow s of fear. Entering into the lilting gondola-paced Italian lifestyle and discovering corners of Venice most tourists never see, they welcome a new time of refreshing. And over boiling pots of pasta, they dare each other to dream again.
Ciao bella!
SISTERCHICK n.: a friend who shares the deepest wonders of your heart, loves you like a sister, and provides a reality check when you're being a brat.
When Jenna is invited to Venice for a week of cooking for a small retreat group, she knows just who to take along: her sister-in-law Sue. With her Dallas drawl and wild tangle of red hair, Sue desperately needs her own retreat from the pressures of the past two years.and blessedly for their guests, Sue actually knows how to cook (unlike Jenna)!
With about six words of Italian between them, a map, and a keen appetite for gelato, they puzzle out the lovely city together. During their stay, Jenna and Sue become victims of grace in ways they never expected-starting with their accommodations: a restored fifteenth-century palace on a quiet canal complete with a stairwell perfect for mattress sledding!
Coming out of a time of dark shadows in their lives, these two friends dive into a new season of refreshing and realize that sometimes when serving God, the most important thing to do is just show up.and watch for goodness and mercy to follow close behind. Come join Jenna and Sue over boiling pots of pasta in this lilting gondola-paced adventure!

Story Behind the Book
Sisterchicks in Gondolas was birthed after Robin experienced Italy for herself. "In the summer of 2004, I went to Venice with my lifetime fellow Sisterchick from Ireland , Ruby," she says. "We explored the city with our daughters and discovered the joys of Italian living." With a splash of humor, grace, and a few zany antics, this latest Sisterchicks release continues to celebrate the unique and timeless bond between women friends. Entertaining and delightful, the story also challenges readers to examine their relationships with one another and with God.
