Meg, Mary and Tricia grew up as a happy threesome in Southport, their small Connecticut hometown by the sea. When their father dies suddenly one cool June night, the sisters return to their childhood home, shellshocked, unsure how to manage their father’s larger legacy. But if there’s one thing the Sweeney sisters know how to do, it’s throw a funeral. There is a stranger at the funeral, though, emboldened by whiskey and a secret. She’s a fourth Sweeney sister, a blond amongst redheads. Enter Serena Tucker, a sudden Sweeney. What happens to the Sweeney sisters now? What will this mean for William’s literary legacy, and the unfinished memoir he’s hidden from his family and publisher? And how will a fourth Sweeney sister fit into their story? By turns revealing, insightful, and uproarious, THE SWEENEY SISTERS is equal parts cautionary tale and celebration—a festive and heartfelt look at what really makes a family.
