Sisters, Ink #4
Perfect Piece
Perfect Piece is a perfectly conceived conclusion to the charming Sisters, Ink series of novels for women. At the heart of each story are four unlikely sisters, each separately adopted into the home of Marilyn and Jack Sinclair where they still meet as adults in their late mother’s attic to work on scrapbook projects and work through life together.The Sinclair sisterhood is about to be rocked from its foundation when Meg—the bedrock sibling most like Momma—collapses with a brain tumor. Surgery removes the invading mass but leaves a sister full of mood swings, depression, anger, and bitterness. Tandy, Kendra, and Joy struggle to find a trace of their formerly happy sister, who always pointed them to life’s positives. Meg’s husband, Jamison, struggles even more. With no idea how to handle the new, unimproved person inhabiting his wife’s body, he finds it too easy to seek solace in the clever conversation of another woman. What none of them realize is that the wisdom they need is already at hand; available

Wishing there was a 5th book to this series. I realize the basis was for each of the sisters to have her own story in the series but it just feels like there could be another story...
November 10, 2018
Perfect Piece, the final book in the Sisters, Ink series about four adopted sisters, brings the story back to Meg. The oldest, married the longest, with three kids, Meg was always the quiet but steady influence of the group. But she has been struggling with headaches through everyone else’s story. In this book, she is diagnosed with a brain tumor. Since the tumor is in an area of the brain that affects personality, everyone is warned that Meg may not be the same after surgery, whether the tumor is benign or malignant. Even knowing this, her husband, Jamison, has a hard time with the bitter, angry Meg that emerges on top of the stress of her illness, taking care of the house, dealing with the children, etc. A breakfast at a diner to get away by himself for a bit results in a pleasant conversation with a waitress which leads to regular meetings.
I thought the sisters might have been a little too up in each other’s business. I have four sisters, and though we love each other and would do anything we could to help each other, I don’t think we’d confront each other like these did. But we’re different personalities and don’t live in the same town, so that makes a difference. I thought the girls were way too harsh concerning Zelda. I understand the issues involved in getting used to a new step-mom, but they all evidenced a lack of grace in dealing with her, until they came to an understanding in the end. Though there were no explicit scenes, there was a bit too much reference to some of the couples’ sexual lives for my tastes. I also didn’t like repeated references to older women in the church as “bluehairs.” It’s sad that there are rampant gossipers in the church and no one ever deals with that, but I doubt every older woman in one church would be gossipy. There seems to be a fundamental disrespect to older people in general except the girls’ parents.
But I liked several themes that emerged through the series: being there for each other, helping each other, adjusting lives and thinking to align with God’s Word. I liked several instances when seeing a situation from a different viewpoint, or understanding the circumstances instead of assuming them, diffused misunderstandings. So, all in all I enjoyed the series.

This installment is fine, if the heaviest of all and with a dearth of scrapbooking, but I really feel like one emotional affair per 4-book series was enough. Too much time in Jamison's head, I think, for a series about sisters. Still enjoyable to read and worth finishing for a sense completion, to see the new babies and because I still love all the characters, but solidly third place (book 2 is staying last because Kendra's hand-wringing still wins out for annoyance factor).

Best of the series.
This series wasn’t much about scrapbooking, more about family, tough choices, and doing life. The Christian worldview was refreshing. Not that any character was perfect, but that they sought to do things right - felt pain when they hurt others, and sought forgiveness through genuine repentance.

Perfect Piece
I did not like this as much as the others in the series. The subject matter jerked my heart strings! I became very angry with Jamison and kind it hard to forgive (his betrayal). Meg's recovery was lengthy and difficult but I think he could have been more patient!

One of a series about 4 inter-racial sisters adopted as young children. Each book highlights one of the sisters and how they rely on each other during good and bad times.

Reveiwed by Cindy Loven
The fourth book in the Sisters Ink series and the conclusion of the series Perfect Peice is a awesome book. Just like the other books, this book is centered around a sister, this time it is Meg, the calming sister, the glue that keeps them all together sister.
Four sisters, different as night and day, adopted seperately into a loving family, have stuck together through all sorts of issues during this series. This time Meg is sick, she has a brain tumor and has surgery and it has changed her personality. The sisters are at a loss, because generally it is Meg keeping them together, helping each other. How will they help Meg?
A story of how a family overcomes a frightening life moment. How they come through rough patches and hard times, and how the family stays intact. A story of good overcoming evil, you may chuckle if you have read the book, but the enemy of our soul is always trying to destroy families and it is a good overcoming evil book.
Rebecca Seitz has a writing style that I love and I am sad to see the series end, I have read and reviewed all of the books in this series, loving each of them. This one was no different, I loved it and was sad to reach the end, but totally look forward to reading more from Rebecca Seitz. 308 pages $14.99 5 stars

ISBN: 978-0-8054-4693-7
Genre: Inspirational/contemporary/women’s fiction
Meg Sinclair has been fighting killer headaches for months, but she’s never had the time to go into the doctor to find out why. She has too much to do, caring for her husband and her little family, and spending times with her sisters. But at her son’s ballgame, Meg collapses, scaring her son.
Jamison is horrified to learn that the cause of his wife’s headaches is a brain tumor. Surgery removes the mass, but Meg’s personality has changed, with mood swings, depression, anger, and bitterness. Neither Jamison nor Meg’s sisters know how to handle this new and unimproved Meg.
Meg is confused about her anger and not sure how to handle it. And her sisters and husband must somehow find the strength and wisdom to traverse the unknown roads ahead.
PERFECT PIECE is the final book in the Sister’s Ink Novel series. I have read three of the four books in the series, but I had no problem keeping up even though I did miss book three.
I enjoyed getting to know Meg better, and her family, and to go through this trial with them. This is truly a series about relationships between family, and has a lot of scrapbooking included. Don’t miss this final installment – PERFECT PIECE. $14.99. 308 pages.

Rebeca Seitz has done an excellent job with this book. Not only is the book itself interesting, but she had dealt with a subject often not acknowledged in a way that is completely biblical, believable, realistic, and transparent. I recommend this book for all women.

As always, a charming, light book about the Sinclair sisters. Quite possibly my favorite of the series.

Aborted. Slow and boring. Too bad, since it's the final 4 of 4 in a series.

Great series of books! I really enjoyed reading these books and look forward to future books by Rebecca Seitz.

Great for teens too!

somewhat predicatable...yet there was a part that was unsure of. Good though!

Good series of books by Rebeca Seitz about adopted sister who are loyal to their family.

I didn't really like the first book, so I don't know why I read this one. The wife has a benign brain tumor and her husband turns to another woman during his wife's recovery.
March 1, 2013
excellent series. I completely enjoyed it.
January 26, 2016
The cover looked interesting, so I picked this up at the library. I kept waiting for it to get better. It never did! Boring!
