For Top Ten Tuesday, I’m focusing on Love for Family in my collection of titles this week.

I’m linking up with That Artsy Reader Girl: Top Ten Tuesday: Love Freebie. I’ve decided to focus on love for family in my ten titles.
Do you love books about families?

(books listed in no particular order)
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
How could I make a list of books about families without considering the classic, Little Women?! Do you love the March girls and Marmie?

We Were the Lucky Ones by Georgia Hunter
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)

Sisters of Seaview (On Devonshire Shores Series) by Julie Klassen
Four sisters join forces to support themselves and their mom after the death of their father.

A Place for Us by Fatima Farheen Mirza
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.

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

The Holiday Cottage by Sarah Morgan
Reconciliation, truth-telling, forgiveness, and healing are thought provoking themes in this poignant family story.

Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson
Siblings reconnect after the death of their mother in this complicated family drama.

The Unlikely Adventure of the Shergill Sisters by Balli Kaur Jaswal
Three very different sisters travel together to honor their mother’s last wishes.

A Vicarage Christmas (Holley Sisters of Thornthwaite Series) by Kate Hewitt
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.

More to the Story by Hena Khan
I can’t resist including a sweet middle-grade story and its modern-day retelling of Little Women.

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

โAh, how good it is to be among people who are reading.โ
~Rainer Maria Rilke
โI love the world of words, where life and literature connect.โ
~Denise J Hughes
โReading good books ruins you for enjoying bad ones.โ
~Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
โI read because books are a form of transportation, of teaching, and of connection! Books take us to places weโve never been, they teach us about our world, and they help us to understand human experience.โ

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.
Thanks Carla! ๐
This is a great idea! I loved little women but haven’t read any others!
Thanks Athena! ๐
Unique take on today’s prompt ๐ 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!
Morgan is so dependable! ๐
The Holiday Cottage looks like a good read.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
Tbr worthy! ๐
Little Women is such a classic.
Yes! And it holds up to rereads!
i love this topic! And love seeing The Sisters of Seaview series on your list ๐ My TTT
Thanks Carrie! ๐
Oh, I haven’t reread Little Women in ages. I should do that soon. Great list of TBR worthy tales
A reread would be fun! It holds up well!
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. ๐๐
Enjoy!
Lovely list! And of course, it makes me very happy to see Little Women up at the top! Always a special read. I loved Black Cake too!
Thanks Lisa! ๐
Good list! I need to get back to the Holley Sisters. Right now I’m bingeing The Cazelet Chronicles by Elizabeth Jane Howard–a great family saga in 5 books.
Thanks for the rec! I need a new series!
Just read the Cazelets!!
I like your take on today’s topic!
Thank you so much Marg! ๐ฏ๐ฅฐ
