Kristen McKanagh | My Top 10 Fictional Sisters
Author Guest / April 12, 2023

THE GIFT OF FAITH, while a romance, is also very much a story about sisters and the bond between them. Faith is a twin, and she has always been the quiet sister, the responsible sister, the good Amish girl. Meanwhile, her sister Mercy is on a different path, needing to go out into the world to figure out that home was where she needed to be all along. But Mercy and Faith’s paths are entwined in such a way that Mercy’s decisions impact Faith’s life in very big ways. But Faith’s love for Mercy is so great, that she will do anything she can to help her sister.   Sisters are one of my favorite character dynamics to write. Not the contentious and often cliché “mean sister” or “mean step-sister” relationships, but relationships that are close, and kind, even when personalities or choices are so very different. It’s a dynamic that is a treat to write, and I think to read or see on screen.   For fun, I’ve come up with my own top 10 list of my favorite sister relationships in books & movies.   White Christmas – Betty & Judy If you haven’t seen this Hollywood classic,…
