Satellite Sisters' Uncommon Senses
Who's your satellite sister?
She's the one you turn to when the best thing in your life happens-or the worst.

I love the Satellite Sisters. It is one podcast that I always down-load to my ipod. They are five sisters that like each other, and they all make different comments about what is going on in each other's lives. If you have sisters, you'll not only enjoy it, you'll learn something about life.
Great book to have when you are likely to have only little bits of time to read. A book of short stories or a book of poetry would work similarly, this is a book of short compositions by 5 sisters. The topics include family life, work life, relationships between siblings and making one's way in the world. The sisters grew up in a large family of 8 children and dozens of cousins. Each story includes a little vignette from family life and then builds a life lesson. Some of the lessons are a bit ar...more
I liked this book because I like the Satellite Sisters. They are 5 sisters who host a pod cast wheich I listen to on an almost daily basis. I was curious the learn about their childhood growing up in a family of 8 children. It was humorous and at times poignant, just like they are in real life.

If you loveed the Satellitte Sisters radio show from NPR years ago or their podcasts now, you will love this book about the Dolan family growing up in CT in a huge family and all the fun that goes along with that.
A bunch of vignettes from 5 sisters (who also have 3 brothers) and what they learned from growing up together. I really enjoyed the ones that directly talked about life as kids. Made me wonder what kinds of stories my kids will write when they "grow up" (and they'd better be writing when they grow up) and if I will ever convince my husband that 8 kids is a better number than 6.
I've read this book many times & wish I could buy a copy for every one of my friends!
Loved it. I also heard these girls on their radio show.
Absolutely loved this book.
This is really a book full of life happenings and advice. I thought it was a fiction, women's read when I bought it so I was a bit disappointed. If you like life from different points of view you may like this one.
Bought this because I came from a family of all sisters. I have enjoyed the book, but put it on the shelf for now. I personally met Julie, the oldest, while living in Moscow.
Birth order books are very interesting to read and I enjoyed looking at their lives from different perspectives. An enjoyable, entertaining read.
I loved this... it was something I think my sisters and I could have written. A handbook for the younger generation.
Not as great as listening to their radio show, but still a good read.
birth order books always interest me --here's another one that I have read
This is a fun celebration of "girlhood" and friendship.
Great stories and good writing!
