Henry's Sisters

Family Ties That Refuse to Break

In Henry’s Sisters, Cathy Lamb delivers a poignant and heartwarming exploration of family, forgiveness, and the enduring strength of sisterhood. When the three disparate and stubborn Bloom sisters—Isabel, Janie, and Ella—are summoned back to their small Oregon hometown to care for their disabled brother Henry and their ailing, eccentric mother, they reluctantly reunite under the same roof. Each sister carries her own wounds, secrets, and regrets, and old conflicts quickly resurface as they attempt to navigate the chaos of their childhood home. Yet amidst laughter, bickering, and bittersweet memories, they find that the ties binding them together are far stronger than the distance that once pulled them apart.

Healing Wounds, Honoring Dreams

As the Bloom sisters work together to keep their mother’s beloved bakery afloat and care for Henry, they’re forced to confront the heartaches and betrayals that have defined their lives. Gradually, buried dreams are unearthed and old grievances lose their power, replaced by empathy and the possibility of healing. Lamb’s storytelling brims with quirky humor, raw emotion, and a cast of unforgettable secondary characters who add color and depth to every page. The sisters’ journey through chaos and reconciliation serves as a testament to the ways love can mend even the deepest rifts, and how family—no matter how imperfect—can offer unexpected hope and a sense of belonging.
