How could I make a list of books about families without considering the classic, Little Women?! Do you love the March girls and Marmie?

Little Women by Louise May Alcott (cover)

This story follows siblings as they are separated during WWII. It has one of my favorite endings….satisfying, poignant, family-centered, faith-filled, and lovely. (based on the author’s own family story)

We Were the Lucky Ones by Georgia Hunter (cover)

Four sisters join forces to support themselves and their mom after the death of their father.


If you’ve been around here a while, you might know that this book is on my lifetime favorites list. A complicated family drama from multiple points of view, realistic but not dysfunctional. Parents and children trying their best. That last part from the father’s POV as he speaks honestly with his wayward son…..emotional and memorable.

A Place For Us by Fatima Farheen Mirza (cover)

Told as only Mitch Albom can, this is a heartfelt (and emotional) real-life “found family” story (nonfiction).

Finding Chika by Mitch Albom (cover)

Reconciliation, truth-telling, forgiveness, and healing are thought provoking themes in this poignant family story.

The Holiday Cottage by Sarah Morgan (cover) Image: a woman strolls through a snowy quaint village carrying a wreath and Christmas shopping bags

Siblings reconnect after the death of their mother in this complicated family drama.

Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson (cover) Image: white text over a multicolored graphic shapes background

Three very different sisters travel together to honor their mother’s last wishes.

The Unlikely Adventures of the Shergill Sisters by Balli Kaur Jaswal (cover0

The first book in the series is a novella that introduces the family and focuses on one sister. The other installments in this lovely series each focus on a different sister. Family is an ever-present theme.

A Vicarage Christmas by Kate Hewitt

I can’t resist including a sweet middle-grade story and its modern-day retelling of Little Women.

There are so many more! These are the first ten that came to mind. Do you have a favorite story about a family?

  1. I love where you took this topic, Carol. I also love stories of families, especially sisters. There are a few on your list that are on my TBR, so it is great to bring them back to the top of that list.

  2. Unique take on today’s prompt ๐Ÿ™‚ I used to love reading family sagas and dramas but its been years since I’ve properly picked one up. I do have A Place for Us on my TBR radar and I’ve been meaning to read a Sarah Morgan book for ages. Her holiday books always look so beautiful!

  3. I love Kate Hewitt, but haven’t read The Vicarage Christmas. Thanks for putting that on my radar, Carol, and also We Were the Lucky Ones. I hope my library has this. ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ“š
