Confessions Of The Sullivan Sisters Summary

The Sullivan sisters have a big problem. On Christmas Day their rich and imperious grandmother gathers the family and announces that she will soon die ... and has cut the entire family out of her will. Since she is the source of almost all their income, this means they will soon be penniless.

Someone in the family has offended her deeply. If that person comes forward with a confession of her (or his) crime, submitted in writing to her lawyer by New Year's Day, she will reinstate the family in her will. Or at least consider it.

And so the confessions begin....

Confessions Of The Sullivan Sisters Reviews

"I wanted to be a writer," she says, "but I wasn't sure how to do that, so I took a job in publishing, which turned out to be a good idea." She worked first as an editorial assistant and then as an assistant editor, in Random House's Children's Book division. "It was the perfect apprenticeship for me," Natalie says.
