Changes was a really good title for this book because the sisters did change because they had the courage to not only take steps to change their situation but to finally see it themselves. The sisters learned so much about themselves and I liked that they looked back to whom they used to be and who they were now. It was interesting to see what they kept and how they did change. I had to chuckle when there were the tomatoes again. When the book came to an end, I was so excited to read about Promises. Something wonderful to look forward to. I hope if you discover this series, you choose to read it, it is an amazing series. It was nice reading it in the winter but would make a wonderful beach read too.
