Confessions of the Sullivan Sisters

Confessions of the Sullivan Sisters
By Natalie Standiford
Scholastic Press, 2010. 313 pgs. Young Adult

Arden Louisa Norris Sullivan Weems Maguire Hightower Beckendorf, otherwise known as Almighty Lou, summons her son, daughter-in-law, and six grandchildren to her Baltimore mansion on Christmas day to inform them that one of the grandchildren has offended her deeply. Unless the grandchild confesses and apologizes for the offense, the whole family will be cut out of her will and Almighty is extremely wealthy. The family returns home and concludes the offender must be one of the three Sullivan girls. So responsible Norrie, rebellious Jane and angelic Sassy each take their turns writing their confessions and learning how much of a Sullivan they truly are. This was a quick read with nothing special about it.
