What does “sisterhood” mean? Is it just girls in flower crowns braiding each other’s hair? Or is it something deeper than that. When you call another woman your sister, what does that mean to you?
To Raelynn and Amelia, it means everything. It doesn’t matter if they’re not sisters by blood, they’re sisters by far more than that. They share each other’s woes, fears, and more often than not, tears. You see, the girls have no one in their lives but each other. Outcasts from school, hated by their parents for the burden of life they never asked to be given. Ostracized and alone, they stand together no matter what.
Sisterhood.
We all have had that one friend that we held close, whether it be a real sister or not, almost everyone can list another woman in their life that they considered a sister. Someone that held them at their saddest moments, or even a girl in a bathroom bar fixing your lipstick, women stand together with women in a bond that can’t be explained. Is it because we have shared the same struggles as a woman, whether we know the person standing in front of us we somehow know that we have struggled in this world run by men, but we struggled together. The idea of Sisterhood goes back to the Red Tents, when women would gather together in tents and discuss womanhood. Yes, they were cast out there by men, but there they learned the secrets of their fellow sisters, and how to survive.
Sisterhood.
Into the Night focus’s heavily on the idea of Sisterhood, of having one person in your life that you know will never leave you. Not a relationship (Although these poor teen girls do let their hearts lead more than their brains, unfortunately), but a bond that can never be broken. A love that can never be betrayed or forgotten, and protecting that bond. Protecting that sister from anything, whether it be a big bad vampire or a jerk boyfriend who needs to get his ass handed to him, these girls are there for each other no matter what. They cry for one another, bleed for one another, and would easily die for one another.
But do they have to? Can Sisterhood protect them as they face down the biggest supernatural threat of this century? Well, you’ll just have to read and find out…
