Just returned to their mountaintop hideaway in the wake of their latest successful mission, the seven fearless friends have barely had time to enjoy a celebratory dinner with their mentor, Charles Martin, when they’re embroiled in a new adventure. In the middle of the night, the Sisters are awakened by an alarm bell. Suspecting intruders, they run to the compound, only to see Myra and Charles rushing towards a helicopter.

Still reeling from this turn of events, the Sisters receive an urgent call from retired justice Pearl Barnes, who's just rescued fourteen pregnant teenagers who belong to a highly secretive polygamy sect. Now, with Charles and Myra missing, the remaining members of the Sisterhood must rally together to save the girls. This time, the Sisters are doing it by themselves – and everything is on the line…

"Sisterhood series... Chief Justice Pearl Barnes story> Pearl runs an underground railroad to help abused and displaced women and has just rescued 14 pregnant teenagers who belong to a highly secretive and controversial polygamy sect. EXCELLENT (third re-read)"
— Ruth (5 out of 5 stars)
" This as well the rest of the series before it are excellent. This one was a little different, but it still kept me reading "
— Sandi, 2/9/2014" really bad. I just kept reading it hoping it would get better, but alas, it didn't. If I could give it negative stars I would. "
— Lucilious, 1/28/2014" Another sisterhood book and another good read. This one has two stories going at the same time. This is good and bad. Good in the sense that they are tied together and one supports the other. Bad in the sense that it distracts from the main story some. All the characters are there and with the normal ending. "
— Mark, 1/28/2014" I reslly like this series. Every book is good in its own way "
— Roma, 1/27/2014" 13th Sisterhood book. "
— Donnajo, 1/27/2014" Yet another book in this series. A so-so book. "
— Judy, 1/27/2014" I did not enjoy this book. I found myself rolling my eyes in exasperation again & again. I thought their interactions - especially with each other - were *extremely* abrasive. Their dependence on Charles for everything from missions to meals was beyond annoying. Their bickering like children & being treated as such was stupid. Their mission & grandstanding was sickening. Come on, Fern! Get off the testosterone show-boat & give us back the sisterhood! "
— Zjourney, 1/23/2014" A bit shallow and unrealistic but I was reading the series with a friend. I wouldn't say Fern Michaels is my favorite author..at least not with this series. "
— Adrienne, 1/19/2014" Another good read in this entertaining series!! "
— Chris, 1/12/2014" Laural Merlington reads this series and is excellent. The Sisterhood story lines are about equalizing injustice for women. They are creative and funny in a gape-mouthed way with characters you grow to love. "
— Donna, 12/24/2013" This was another good book in the Sisterhood series by Fern Michaels. I absolutely love these characters and always like to see how they seek their own brand of justice. I would definately recomend reading this series! "
— Wendy, 11/8/2013" One of my favorite in this series. It was constant go, go, go! "
— Iris, 11/6/2013" It's been awhile since I've read one of the Sisterhood novels. I really enjoyed this one! "
— Crystal, 10/10/2013" One of the sister series. Good book would like to read more of them "
— Emily, 9/23/2013" i was so mad at the way this one ended. Charles had better get his head out of his A**. "
— Amy, 8/26/2013" love This Series!!!! I have all of them!!!!!!! "
— Heather, 8/24/2013" Tried a few pages. Didn't get into it. "
— Susie, 3/27/2013" I really enjoy reading this series, but it seems as the series goes on the lack of detail in the vigilantes missions degrease. Overall though it was a good read and I still enjoyed it. "
— Heidi, 3/24/2013" The vigilantes take over a cult to free the children. Charles and Myra to to Britian, where Charles's son is dying. "
— Linda, 10/11/2012" Another great adventure for the "Sisters" group. "
— Lynette, 8/18/2012" I have enjoyed each book of the series. I would suggest reading this series. Love all of the characters. "
— Karen, 1/31/2012" Another good story, listening to them is so enjoyable!! "
— Gabby, 1/23/2012" Even though I enjoy her books in general, I just don't know what kind of a mind can come up with heroines that are so sweet but do such horrendous things to people out of a sense of "justice". I don't know why I keep reading these books. There is something fascinating about her writing. "
— Truitti, 12/27/2011" While I don't agree with polygamy, I didn't feel the knocking out of teeth and shaving of heads was necessary. Also, the boyfriends are just too sappy. "
— Kristi, 11/3/2011" Another succesful Sisterhood novel.....can't wait for the next one! "
— Kathy, 10/16/2011" This is another book in the Sisterhood Series. It's true to form. Just as good as the others. Always looking forward to the next chapter in the Sisterhood Series Collection. "
— Jacqy, 6/13/2011" Based on recent current events with the FLDS polygamy cults. Not really that exciting to me. The real events are more interesting. "
— Stephanie, 6/10/2011" Again another great book about the sisters! I just enjoy listening to this series back and forth to work! "
— Susan, 5/6/2011" Interesting twist doing a "job" without Charles. I've always been a succor for a Brit! The story develops and we become concerned what's going on with Charles too. Not my favorite, but it is a decent read. "
— Carol, 3/18/2011" A bit shallow and unrealistic but I was reading the series with a friend. I wouldn't say Fern Michaels is my favorite author..at least not with this series. "
— Adrienne, 1/30/2011" The “vigilantes” are dishing out paybacks again. The “sisterhood” series are easy to read and good for a diversion. The series is starting to wear on me! "
— Jackie, 2/11/2010" I don't know if I liked this book since it has been so long since I read a sisterhood book but I found this one to be quite good. I just finished the second series of Big Love so it was fitting I would read this book now. "
— Julie, 1/5/2010" really bad. I just kept reading it hoping it would get better, but alas, it didn't. If I could give it negative stars I would. "
— Lucilious, 10/25/2009" While I don't agree with polygamy, I didn't feel the knocking out of teeth and shaving of heads was necessary. Also, the boyfriends are just too sappy. "
— Kristi, 9/6/2009" Well, that's two days of my life i'm never getting back. Forced and unbelievable characterization and stilted dialog throughout. Terrible! "
— Lisa, 8/18/2009" Listened to the first CD. The reader completely turned me off the story. Each character had a different voice; English, southern drawl, oriental. The reader also read too fast like she was flying through the story. "
— Marcia, 7/18/2009" This as well the rest of the series before it are excellent. This one was a little different, but it still kept me reading "
— Sandi, 6/26/2009" Based on recent current events with the FLDS polygamy cults. Not really that exciting to me. The real events are more interesting. "
— Stephanie, 6/18/2009" Fern Michaels - sisterhood series books are fabulous. Really should read in order - not essential, but the characters grow from the first book till this book. "
— Jeanne, 6/11/2009" I think Fern phoned this one in. Maybe the Sisterhood is ready for retirement! The gang makes a joke about "not having a plan", but this book really did not have a plan or a plot. "
