The Sister-to-Sister series remains very special to me, because I wrote it about my sisters. Well, not necessarily exactly about my sisters, but about our relationships. When my middle sister and I were young, we fought all the time. I remember once Mom sat us down after a particularly vocal argument and said, “Girls, look at each other. You have the same mother and the same father, so the same DNA combination made you. There is no one else in the world who will ever be as close to you genetically as your sister. You should be friends.” I also remember glaring sideways and thinking, I don’t want to be genetically like her, and I don’t want to be her friend! 

But as we grew, an odd thing happened. We did become friends. At school we supported each other, because no one in the world had gone through what’d gone through together. When Mom and Daddy divorced, we clung to each other through the bad parts and the good parts. Then a few years later, my youngest sister was born, and we became a threesome. Sisters. We still had our battles, but we also stood up for each other. At times it was like the three of us against the world. And now these two wonderful women are my very best friends. There is truly no one like a sister.

That’s what I had in mind when I wrote the Sister-to-Sister series; I wanted to demonstrate the caring, supportive, sometimes distant, occasionally contentious, but always supportive relationship between me and my sisters. And I think I succeeded. People who know us have read these books and told me, “I see all three of in the Sanderson sisters!”

These books were written several years ago and published by Revell. The rights recently reverted to me, and I took the opportunity to spiff them up a bit and bring them up to date. It’s with  great pleasure that I present the repackaged books in the Sister-to-Sister Series.
