Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I mentioned this book in the Winter Book Thread, but thought it deserved it's very own listing!   OF COURSE, we LOVE this book! There are so many things to discuss in this book from the frivolous to beautiful "life issues."

I remember first finding this book on amyable's sidebar a few years ago, when she had all kinds of "books about sisters". We read it every year in Jan/Feb.

Quote:
Kindergarten-Grade 2–An elderly woman watches from her window as three young sisters play outside in the snow. She reminisces about the times long ago when she did the same with her own siblings, Rita and Mae. After opening the door and offering lemon and sugar to the children, the woman tells them how to make lemon ice. Later in the day, Rita and Mae make a surprise visit for their sister's 80th birthday. The girls help celebrate by preparing a snow party complete with a snow cake, snow chairs, and the best lemon ices ever.
