“The stories, poems, and memoirs in the new anthology SISTERS call forth sweetness and light, fury and a fierce devotion.” — The Boston Globe

“Publishing is not dead, it’s merely getting more fabulous. At least that’s how things look now that we’ve discovered Paris Press ... [It] became known to us because of their new book, Sisters. A collection of marvelous authors writing on our favorite topic, this is the single book that all of us must read.” — The Sister Project

“Writers including Margaret Atwood and Alice Walker explore sisterhood in this intelligent collection.... The book makes clear that sisters don’t outgrow their bond… Once a sister, always one.”
— People Magazine
