A review by rcaivano
Tigers, Not Daughters by Samantha Mabry

I went into this thinking I wasn't going to like it but read it because of all the great reviews. The three Torres sisters are living in the shadow of their oldest sister's death. None of them, including their useless father (their mother died in childbirth) is handling the death well. The story is told from each sister's POV which makes it much more interesting and relatable, but each are so damaged you can't help but want to reach into the pages of the book and help each of them. Again, useless father who is of no help to anyone. It appears that their sister Ana has come back with a message and each sister tries to find her, and her message, in their own way. It's a story about intense sisterly love, family bonds, and also standing up for yourself - there are abusive men in their lives and the sisters help each other realize they don't have to take it. They are enough for themselves and each other. An excellent book.
