For fans of Dorothea Benton Frank, Her Sister’s Shoes is a contemporary women’s novel that explores and proves the healing power of family. Set in the South Carolina Lowcountry and packed with Southern charm and memorable characters, Her Sister’s Shoes is the story of three sisters—Samantha, Jackie, and Faith—who struggle to balance the demands of career and family while remaining true to themselves. Samantha Sweeney has always been the glue that holds her family together, their go-to girl for love and support. When an ATV accident leaves her teenage son in a wheelchair, she loses her carefully constructed self-control. In the after-gloom of her dreaded fiftieth birthday and the discovery of her husband’s infidelity, Jackie realizes she must reconnect with her former self to find the happiness she needs to move forward. Faith lacks the courage to stand up to her abusive husband. She turns to her sisters for help, placing all their lives at risk. In the midst of their individual challenges, the Sweeney sisters must cope with their mother’s mental decline. Is Lovie in the early stages of Alzheimer’s, or is her odd behavior normal for a woman her age? No one, including Lovie, understands her obsession with a rusty key she wears around her neck.

Review "It's a lovely tangled family saga about three very different sisters who are all at a crisis point in their lives. Their lives are all poles apart and all are likeable characters with touches of vulnerability about them which makes them engaging."- Kindle Reviewer "This has to be one of the best books I have read in years. The characters were so real and it was a book I had trouble putting down."- Kindle Reviewer"I love how different sisters can be but how strong that bond can be no matter how little you understand each others lives. And Her Sisters Shoes delves into this complex relationship with aplomb."- Kindle Reviewer
From the Author I spent the summers of my youth on Murrells Inlet, in the upper part of the Lowcountry of South Carolina, at the tip of Garden City Beach where the mouth of the inlet meets the ocean. We dug for clams in the gooey black mud and caught crabs using hand lines--a piece of string attached to a chicken neck. Mostly, my friends and I raced our johnboats up and down the waterways--skiing and hydrosliding--annoying the weekly renters with our rambunctious behavior. When the ocean was calm and the fishing reports promising, my father took us deep-sea fishing. We left the dock in the wee hours of the morning in order to make it to the Gulf Stream by sunrise. My favorite part of the trip was hearing the diesel engines rumble to life and vibrate beneath me as I slumbered away in the cabin below. Some days we never got a bite. Other days we returned with a cockpit full of tuna, wahoo, and dolphin. I wrote this novel in memory of my father, Elbert, who shared his love of the water and taught me how to cook everything we caught.

I felt like I needed to help Sam tackle that bar while I was reading it. Three sisters. One so married with teenage boys who finds out her husband is having an affair. Another who is unmarried and has a teenage child in a wheelchair from an ATV accident which killed his best friend. He has given up on life and moping around feeling sorry for himself with a lot of anger. And the last sister is married to an unemployed drunk who gambles all the time and thinks the whole world owes him and he owns his wife. Then there's the mother who for the most part realizes what's going on, but then she has her moments where the daughters are very unsure if she should be left alone. And, to top it off the family owns a seafood restaurant/ market that has been in the family for years and is now being restored.I really, really liked the character development and the way the author handled the story. It wasn't all sad, there were some light moments and yes, tears of happiness at the end. This is one of those big family stories where everybody's in everybody's business because they care so much. For me, it was suspenseful and left me with a nice feel good feeling. I highly recommend it.Thanks to the publisher and Net Galley for providing me with this free e-galley in exchange for an honest review.

I do and I gobble them down as there is just so much to explore in this fascinating family dynamic. I love how different sisters can be but how that strong that bond can be no matter how little you understand each others lives. And Her Sisters Shoes delves into this complex relationship with aplomb.First Line of Her Sister's Shoes by Ashley Farley:“Lovie and Oscar Sweeney had been providing vacationers to the South Carolina coast with fresh-from-the-ocean seafood since opening their doors in May of 1959 – and little had changed since then.What I loved about Her Sister's Shoes by Ashley Farley:- It’s a lovely tangled family saga about three very different sisters who are all at a crisis point in their lives. Their lives are all poles apart and all are likeable characters with touches of vulnerability about them which makes them engaging.- There is a strong sense of small town setting which is a setting I love reading about- Their family relationships are tricky which just came across as very realistic- I love that it includes the extended family from their aging mother to all their children. Multi generation characters always appeal to me as I love to see various generations all learning from each other.- I really enjoyed that it showed the struggles of trying to run a family business in the current harsh economic climate. Again that is just so relatable.- It has a heart warming and romantic vibe to itWhat I didn’t love so much about Her Sister's Shoes by Ashley Farley:- I felt it was very predictable and I didn’t feel any huge sense of anticipation of what would happen next. That isn’t to say I didn’t enjoy it, I did but I would have loved more unpredictability about itOverall though Her Sister’s Shoes is a charming character driven read, just perfect for a light read in the sun. The overall mood is romantic and uplifting and full of family protectiveness feel good feels.Who should read Her Sister's Shoes by Ashley Farley?I’d recommend this to fans of books about contemporary family sagas especially if you love books about sisters like I do. Fans of authors such as Elin Hildebrand, Diane Chamberlain and Maeve Binchy should also enjoy.
6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Farley mixed in a little suspense, mystery and a budding romance as we get to know Faith, Sam, Jackie and their mother Lovie. By kimbacaffeinate First date: The Sweeney sisters Sam, Jackie and Faith are preparing for the grand reopening of their seaside seafood store. Originally opened by their mother Lovie, vacationers make a point of stopping for their fresh seafood. Sam is worried about the new décor even as thoughts turn to her son who is recovering from an ATV accident that has left him in a wheelchair. Faith has her own share of problems and Jackie is too wrapped up in herself to notice her world is crumbling around her. They are all worried about their mother who has been behaving oddly. Farley easily allows the reader to slip in as we get to know this realistic family.Second date: I love that these sisters are far from perfect and Farley begins peeling back their layers and exposing their secrets. Sam’s marriage is far from a fairytale story; her husband is out of work and drinking. As things spiral out of control, she must lean on her siblings for help. Jackie’s world begins to crumble and she is ready to place all the blame on her husband. Sam is barely holding it together. She is the glue of the family, the strong one and the stress is beginning to show. Meanwhile Lovie is franticly trying to discover what the old key around her neck unlocks. There is a lot happening with the sisters and Farley does a good job of allowing us to view events as they unfold. At times, each of the sisters made me angry and I cringed at their interactions. Why is it that we sometimes treat the ones we love the worst? Tension begins to build as Faith’s problems place them all in danger and Jackie discovers what really matters. Secondary characters offer support, shed light and added interest to the story. We see the begins of romance, but this novel focuses on the siblings themselves,Third date: My last date with Her Sister’s Shoes had me flipping the pages, revelations; personal discovery and danger had me caught up. All of the threads come together and we see resolution to many of their problems including the mystery with Lovie. It all wrapped up neatly and readers will either be thrilled or feel it was too convenient. Nevertheless, I was happy to see closure and appreciate the growth each character experienced and the strengthening of family.
