The Sisterhood

Helen Bryan’s The Sisterhood is a grand historical mystery that takes place between the sixteenth and modern centuries. The story of Menina Walker, a lucky child saved from a hurricane in South America, is told in the book. Menina is raised by an American household and develops into a stunning and knowledgeable lady. Her hopes are dashed, though, by another horrific incident that takes place in Spain.

She delves into the heroic tales of five orphan girls who managed to elude the Spanish Inquisition and were assisted in making their way to the New World. Love, historical intrigue, and the mystery surrounding Menina’s swallow medal—a connection to her past or even the secret sisterhood itself—are all skillfully woven together in this book.
