Satellite Sisters' Uncommon Senses - Softcover
Julie, Liz, Sheila, Monica and Lian Dolan are the Satellite Sisters, five real sisters with the same parents but very different lives. Together they host a nationally syndicated talk show on the ABC Radio Network. They also contribute a bi-monthly column to O, The Oprah Magazine entitled Satellite Sisters Position Paper. Youngest Sister Lian writes her own column The Chaos Chronicles for Working Mother Magazine.
Satellite Sisters UnCommon Senses is their story of growing up together in a family that also included three brothers, two parents and one black Labrador retriever, Tor. The sisters have a theory that growing up in a big family is good preparation for later life because you acquire the "uncommon senses".
Those senses are:
Sense of Connection
Sense of Self
Sense of Humor
Sense of Adventure
Sense of Direction.
Satellite Sisters UnCommon Senses is divided into these five chapters. The sisters mine a wealth of warm, wise and funny anecdotes from their childhood and modern lives to expand on their definition of senses, showing off their distinct characters, individual perspectives and unique common voices. Real, spirited and hilarious, these Satellite Sisters will remind you of your own Satellite Sisters.

From AudioFile:
Having grown up in an Irish-Catholic family presents many challenges and provides much material for these five sisters, known for their public radio show. This selection is an abridgment of a collection of essays (for want of a better word); in each essay one of the sisters shares her unique perspective on various topics. The commentaries draw on family experiences and relate how they enabled the speaker to distinguish herself from her sisters (and brothers) and develop a distinct identity. Each sister reads her own work. Some seem more comfortable reading than others, but each carries her own in a style developed in the course of their popular show.
