Tandi Reese and her sister, Gina, have always been bound by complicated ties. Amid the rubble of a difficult childhood lie memories of huddling beneath beds and behind sofas while parental wars raged. Sisterhood was safety . . . once. But now? Faced with legal papers for a fraud she didn't commit, Tandi suspects that her sister has done something unthinkable. With Tandi's wedding just around the corner, a trip to the North Carolina Tidewater for a reckoning with Gina was not part of the plan. But unraveling lies from truth will require confronting strained sibling bonds and uncovering a dark family secret that could free Tandi from her past or stain her future forever. (Novella)

Review: Tandi Jo Reese finally seems to be getting her life in order. She has been working on getting the Benoit House museum ready to open. She and Paul are planning their wedding, which is only two weeks away. And Zoey and J.T. seem to be finally becoming part of a normal family with everything. It seems as though nothing could go wrong, until she finds out that she is being sued for stealing earnest money on a property that she doesn’t own, or at least thinks she doesn’t. There is only one person who could be in the mix of all of this, her older sister Gina. After finding out that has been named in a lawsuit on her grandparent’s farm in the outer banks, Tandi Jo drives to a place she hasn’t been since she was a teenager. What surprises await her arrival?
I was very happy that Lisa Wingate decided to write a postlude to The Prayer Box. I felt like the book ended and left a few questions unanswered. Then Gina disappeared and we knew that the story with her wasn’t going to be over. Thankfully, we got the continuation of the story to give even more closure to the character of Tandi Jo than was shown in the actual book.
Tandi Jo’s character continues to get more developed and we still see the signs of past abuse that haunt her. Gina actually grows in a positive direction by the end of this book, leaving readers with more of a happy ending than the previous book. The postlude only deals with the two sisters primarily, but has some small parts for the supporting characters as well. I was glad to see the story continued on. Maybe there will even be a sequel at some point.

Love Lisa Wingate! Always uplifting and insightful.

I absolutely love Lisa Wingate’s novels! I started with Tending Roses and have read and enjoyed each and every one of her books.

I enjoy Lisa’s writing style, character development, unique story lines and the fact that there is always personal growth, reconciliation and redemption in her novels. Lisa always finds an interesting premise, location or historical reference that leads me to do further research on the topic presented. I also like that her books are written in series which gives me an opportunity to get to know the characters better as the story lines develop and to see how they are progressing or what they are up to once they aren’t the focal point of the current story.

While I don’t always like the personalities of the characters (I’m sure that’s Lisa’s intent) at the onset, I do grow to love them and understand and appreciate their individual challenges and personalities as the story unfolds. I have sometimes felt uncomfortable as I was being taught lessons I needed to learn about how others might be challenged or struggling in their lives and the scenarios are realistic enough that you can certainly apply them to real life situations. At the end of the book, I am always loath to leave them and feel as if they are real people that I’ve grown to know and care about.

I have been inspired by Lisa’s wisdom, challenged to become a better person, laughed, cried and fallen in love with the people and localities she writes about.

I feel I am a better person for having read these books and always appreciate the measure of grace she brings to her writing. Each book leaves a great impression on me and my heart is full for a long time after the last page is turned.

It is important to me that Lisa somehow manages to do all of this without feeling the need to use graphic language or sex scenes as I do not find that these add anything to a story.

Don’t think that her books aren’t entertaining! Lisa adds wit to go along with the wisdom! There is always a little bit of romance, too!

I hope you will take the time to pick up one of Lisa’s books. You won’t be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerfull and Stunning! A Must Read! Best novella of the year!
Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2015

The Tidewater Sister's is the best novella of the year, hands down! If you've read The Prayer Box, this is a must read follow-up! I'm absolutely stunned how good this story is! I loved The Prayer Box, giving it a five star rating, but I think I love this story even more. What's higher than five stars? I don't know, but I had to add my applause for this book to all the others who loved it too.

Tandi Jo seems to have just gotten her struggles in life under control. The new museum is opening soon and she's getting married in two weeks when mysterious papers are served to her. She doesn't know what they're about, but she suspects her smooth-talking, conniving sister Gina's involved somehow.

What follows is a journey into her past, both powerful and painful. The things she uncovers are such a shock at one point she literally blacks out. Is she dreaming or is it real? I was right there with her, as shocked as she was. The more she learns, the more she realizes everything she is going through is all necessary to move forward in her new life. I felt every emotion, cried every tear, experienced all the anger and sadness, and in the end the joy of knowing she could finally put the past behind her, get married and have a happy life.

Lisa Wingate has told an outstanding story of betrayal, regret, love and forgiveness. I can't wait to read the next book in this series, The Story Keeper. It has to be good, I just saw she won a Christ Award for it.

I was anxious to read this book because I liked "The Prayer Box" so much and wanted to hear more of the sister's story. I enjoyed this book and was really into when it ended abruptly. I felt like there was more story to be told and was disappointed that it didn't continue the story further and include what happened when the main character returned home to the Outer Banks because I wanted to hear more about that as well and even though this was about the "sisters", I hoped the author would include the return home as well.

I appreciate that this particular novella carried forward the story of Tandy Jo Reese, but I am really sorry that it had to be fraught with so much drama with Gina. I wanted it to be a lot more happily ever after, and all the way probably would've been I really want to know what did Tandy wear when she married science teacher

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Story!
Reviewed in Canada on August 13, 2014

As this story opened, I was immediately immersed in the misty, moody dream world of Tandi Jo and her memories of her first, long-lost love. I felt suspended with her until the shock of awakening to another, her soon-to-be husband. That dream becomes a critical part of Tandi’s story, and I loved the bittersweet surprise.
Once again, Lisa Wingate compels me to visit the Outer Banks with her heroine. Tandi Jo is preparing for a wonderful future when the past slaps her in the face and whirls her back to her grandparents’ farm. The one place she felt safe in the war zone that was her family.
I love the misty dreaminess of the author’s writing and her skillfully etched realism of a life that has never been easy. Faith is not preached, but it is the very canvas on which this story is painted.
This book held me captive until the very end, and its characters will stay with me for a very long time. The Tidewater Sisters earns five stars.
