The Gifted Gabaldon Sisters — Lorraine Lopez

When the four young Gabaldon sisters lost their mother, it was Fermina, the old Pueblo caretaker living in their house, who held them together with her love and protection. Upon her death, she promised the girls they would each receive a special gift, selected just for them. And as time passed, what she bestowed -- hands that can heal, a skill for spinning stories, the ability to incite laughter, and the power to curse others -- emerged, bringing both blessings and tragedy. Now, twenty years later, unsure of whether the woman who had loved them so was a fairy godmother or a witch, the sisters delve into the patched and woven history of their family. Here shadowed secrets wait patiently to be released into the light . . . to show the gifted Gabaldon sisters not only who their guardian really was, but the truth about themselves.
