The Chimney Sisters

About the Book

The Chimney Sisters is a hilarious comedy about four sisters from West Virginia. The interest of the reader is captured by the antics of CiCi, Julie, Sally, and Diana who left the family farm and are forced by life’s circumstances to return to their roots in the country. As the story begins the reader sees Julie and CiCi trying to survive after they lose their life’s savings to two gigolos. Then Julie remembers her gigolo ex-boyfriend told her where he would hide his money from his ex-wife and the IRS. They are able to buy back the family farm and get their Momma out of the rest home where she was placed when she became ill with Alzheimer’s Disease. Their lives should be perfect now, but they discover their childhoods are rooted in a grossly dysfunctional family. Some families have skeletons in their closets, but the sisters discover their family skeletons are buried in the old well behind the farmhouse. Their chore is to keep family secrets buried and to hold onto their recovered fortunes. The book is an easy read for anyone who can stop laughing long enough to finish it.
