After Regina's husband abandons her and their four children: One son and three daughters, in Chicago, Regina relocates to Los Angeles, where she faces financial struggles as a single mother to care for her children. Jewish Family Services place the girls in an orphanage-where they stay until they graduate and attend programs to acquire essential skills to support themselves.Rose, Josephine, and Dorothy Butlaw attended University High School in Los Angeles, each with her own remarkable talent-Rose excelled in math, Josephine showcased artistic talent, and Dorothy had a knack for journalism. Unfortunately, their journeys were hindered by jealousy, anti-Semitism, and meanness, which often overshadowed their hard work and blocked them from the recognition and opportunities they truly deserved.As the girls go on with their lives, there come random events that present a unique opportunity for each sister to get the payback for each person that got in their way.
"From the acclaimed author of "Housewife Assassin" The Woman Who Tried to Kill President Ford" comes a wonderful follow-up to "Regina of Warsaw." Revenge of the Sisters recounts the stories of Regina's daughters and how three strong-willed Jewish women made their way in a world fraught with opposition. A Jewish story, yes, but also a story of resilience, fortitude, moxy and passion, Revenge of the Sisters is a great read for history buffs, women's history experts and readers who love a great survival story!" -Joan Gelfand, author, Outside Voices: A Memoir of the Berkeley Revolution
