And also in Anne's adult life she makes kindred spirits happen like Miss Cornelia and Leslie Ford.

One of my favourite sisterhood stories is Australian author Ruth Park's CALLIE'S CASTLE. Callie is the eldest in her family and she wants a place of her own.

Another good sisterly story for me is KATY GOES TO SCHOOL by Susan Coolidge. Katy and Clover become very close - and there are elements of chosen family through Rose Red and her best friend.

Hooray!

One story - or long series - I wanted to add was Elinor Brent-Dyer's Chalet School.

The sisterhood between Madge and Joey Bettany leads to some very inclusive and unconventional families.

And many girls - and boys - can find a sisterly relationship or a friendly relationship - and often both!

For example: Joey and her "little adopted sister" Robin Humphries who becomes a nun.

They go through a lot in the Second World War and afterwards.
