This is a beach read for people who like older books. There's nothing here that you haven't read somewhere else, but it's fun and comes with some delightful sibling hijinks.

Good clean amusing book. Fun escapades of five parson's daughters. Good for a clean teen read.

I've read serious novels lately so this was a wonderful change! The characters were believable and the dialogue was lively. It reminded me of the books I loved as a kid.

Prudence is not especially clever or ambitious. But she is great at mothering her family of five sisters and a lone man, her daddy.
This is an amazing feel-good book.

Methodist minister with five daughters moves into a new town. The oldest daughter, Prudence is trying to mother her younger sisters and bring them up right, but has her hands full because they are kind of wild. Also she's not interested in getting married. Until she is. Just ok.

It's been a while since I read this book, but I remember liking the characters really well, and the story drew me in from the start. I love stories with that are well written with morals.
