Spotlight and Giveaway: You're the Best

Even though "Friendship Month" at CLC was in September, today we're here to celebrate friendships (and a pub day) with the Satellite Sisters and their new book, You're the Best: A Celebration of Friendship.

Thanks to Wunderkind PR, we have TWO copies for some lucky US readers!

For the past 15 years, the Satellite Sisters – Julie, Liz, Sheila, Monica and Lian Dolan – have entertained us with headlines of the day and career and family life anecdotes. We’ve laughed, cried, and learned that nothing is more powerful than a sense of connection and the notion that going through life with other people is the better way to go.

In their new book, You’re the Best, the Satellite Sisters have turned their focus on one of the most important relationships in our lives – our friends, our Satellite Sisters, the women (and men) we call when the best thing in your life happens, or the worst.

With their trademark empathy, intelligence, and humor, You’re the Best is a collection of essays and writings about Life, Love, Family, Play, and Change.

Spanning ages 15 to 60, both the Satellite Sisters and the Next Generation--nieces, daughters, daughters-in-law--cover how friendships influence choices, relationships, careers, adventures, and inevitable changes.

Available in hardcover this fall, You’re the Best is the perfect thank-you note to our female friends and the perfect gift for childhood BFFs, your college roommates, your running group, your book club, your PTA friends or your actual sisters – for anyone you want to tell, “You’re the best.”

The book is the best reminder that it’s our friends who get us up, get us going, get us through and, most importantly, make us laugh.
