Nuns just want to have fun! But when three former Catholic nuns have too much fun and get in trouble with the law, they become nuns on the run.
Driving back to Washington D.C. where they work at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Parts, the three sisters are arrested in Tennessee. After defeating the local deputy in strip poker, they escape from jail, and are pursued by the zealous Detective Schmuck Hole, who has personally offered a $10,000 reward for their capture on The 700 Club. Little do they know that when the three sisters visit the Washington Monument, their lives will change forever.
Set in 1979, The Three Sisters is a humorous, adult satire that skewers not only organized religion, but the government, the media, intellectuals, corporate greed and every other part of the establishment. Maybe not the greatest story ever told, but possibly the funniest.

My Review:
This was hysterical. With that being said, I am a Catholic and some of the stuff almost went to far. However it is a satire and that added to laughter. To me it was a cross between "Sister Act" and "American Pie" There were ads and drawings that brought the parodies to life, and only made me laugh harder. The puns were great and so were the obvious play on words. This book covers confession, heretics, the crucifixion and everything in between. This book is not for your aunts or grandparents that go to church every week, and do not swear. I go to church on a regular basis, and I stilled laughed. I even shared some of the jokes withe my husband. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review from OrangeBerry Book Tours, however all opinions are my own.
