BOOK DESCRIPTION
Come along for the ride with a Depression era all-girl band as they tour the country in a 1928 Packard hearse. The Texas Rangerettes
garner headlines in Variety and Billboard for several years before taking a fork in the road that subsequently has Paramount
Studio cameramen camping on the women's doorstep hoping to film a history-making event featuring four band members.
Based on a true story, Swinging Sisters celebrates the life of a family rooted in the Irish famine who achieves success
and happiness in two diverse careers.
"Customer Rating for this product is 5 out of 5"
"Fun & Inspiring"
"An enjoyable read. Christensen did much corresponding with the sisters and seems to have captured the heart of their
story along with their witty personalities. Very intriguing."
"Three times nominated for the Pushcart Prize, Christensen uses historical facts in a charming and entertaining way
to tell her cousins' unique story. The blend of fact and fiction is seamless, and the sense of place (all over the country)
is authentic. A song title introduces each chapter, and with lots of music throughout the book, you might find yourself singing
along, tapping your toes, and feeling good. This story would make a lively movie."
