Gordon Sisters: Blood was always thicker than water

As complex as a love-hate relationship, sisterhood wraps every confounding emotion into one mighty battle for center-stage, regardless of what Louisa May Alcott told in her post-Civil War publication Little Women. Jo, Amy, Beth, and Meg March had nothing on Alice, Susie, Janie, Frances, and Mib Gordon.

Distinctively different in personality, but joined by a dedication to each other, the Gordon Girls were sisters in the truest sense of the word. While any of the sisters at any time could morph into what could be inspiration for the five Bennett sisters in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, usually the sisters were an unmovable object gaining strength through their solidarity, regardless of the force swaying them to make a change.

Sisters can be the strongest and most severe of rivals, but when push comes to shove, the Gordon Girls circled the wagons and took no prisoners.

The complicated relationships found in Pride and Prejudice have nothing on Camden, Arkansas connections as they play out in The House on Harrison Street: the Gordon-Ritchie Saga.
