   Is Satellite Sisters a good book?

   • Will be recommending on Satellite Sisters. An excellent book club choice. This story resonated with me so much. I learned something new. I had never heard about the group of Smith girls who went to France in WWI. This is just such a great story of some strong, courageous women caring for needs that seemed to be forgotten in the ravages of war.
