Every Friday on my blog, I offer a good choice for weekend reading material. This week I’m in a vacation mood, so I’m suggesting Sisterchicks in Sombreros by Robin Jones Gunn. My extended family has begun planning a Mexican cruise and invited us to come along. I’m knee-deep in the frustrating details of vacation planning — those details that make you wonder if all the stress will be “worth it” — so it was the perfect time for this book to plop into my lap.
In Sisterchicks in Sombreros, characters Joanne and Melanie begin an exciting adventure that takes them from a luxurious cruise ship to a humble home in the Baja desert and finally taking possession of their deceased uncle’s vacation property in San Felipe. These sisters discover that God has covered them with a “sombrero of grace” and that letting go of their own expectations and desires will result in God leading them into the adventure of their lives.
In this era of “staycations,” the Sisterchicks series is the perfect escape. There are eight fiction titles in the series and each one will carry you away to a fun exotic location where women discover the power of friendship and the joy of God’s love. Robin Gunn is an expert at weaving laughter into her stories, placing her characters in those unbelievable situations where all you can do is choose to laugh or cry. Thankfully her characters usually learn to let go and laugh at life’s little frustrations.
This is vacation reading at its best. I’ve laughed my way through a few other titles in the series, Sisterchicks on the Loose, Sisterchicks Down Under, and Sisterchicks say Ooh, La, La. I’ve also been enjoying the devotional book Taking Flight: A Sisterchicks Devotional, written by Robin Jones Gunn and Cindy Hannan. I’m looking forward to reading the newest Sisterchicks title, Sisterchicks in Wooden Shoes, released earlier this year. Each book has new characters and situations, so there is no need to read the books in any specific order.
So, if your summer has been lacking in travel and adventure, check out the Sisterchicks series. Pull up a lounge chair in the back yard and treat yourself to a mini-vacation of your own.
