Band of sisters

 Gohlke has another winner with Band of Sisters.  I thoroughly enjoyed a work of fiction that revolves around another work of fiction.  Olivia reads In His Steps by Charles Sheldon and challenges those around her to ask themselves the question "What Would Jesus Do?"  Introduce 2 immigrant sisters from Ireland making their way through Ellis Island and entering America.  Maureen is determined to do it herself.  She weaves careful lies to make it seem like she's got it together.  She trusts the wrong people and quickly is in over her head.  So many times God placed people in Maureen's path who could have helped, but she allowed fear to determine her life.  The book dealt with a difficult subject - human trafficking.  Her characters were realistic and well developed.  The reader had a view of God's handiwork in each character's life.  Good plot, time frame and subject.
