Introduction

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once upon a time, there were four young s. There was me, Ronnie, Abie,
Elena, and Bailey. We're the daughters, of the Sisterhood; The Sisterhood of
the Traveling Pants. Yeah, that's right-- the daughters. I have some
disappointing news for you, Mom, Bridget, Tibby, and Lena did not marry the
guys they fell in love with throughout those three years.

Mom married Dad (uh, Chris, that is his name). Bridget married Karl. Tibby
didn't marry at all (had Bailey out of wedlock). And Lena married Paul (no
not Uncle Paul, Carmen's step-brother).

You would expect Abie, Elena, Bailey, and me to be best friends. WRONG!
Until this summer, we d each other. When I turned ten I figured out the
truth about our mothers and how their daughters were all born in the same
month.

The truth was--that they planned it. The whole truth really was, these women
planned it. Tibby just had a baby with her boyfriend at the time. And the
rest of them just had babies with their husbands (seems reasonable.) I felt
like a lie. Mom and Dad hadn't planned my four other brothers and sisters,
but they had planned me. They planned me perfectly in line with Bridget,
Tibby and Lena.

Back to the point, not my personal opinion about how I didn't like the way I
was born: The summer before we all turned fourteen Tibby was busy
documentary on Aids, Lena had taken a full-time job at the local doctor's
office, and Bridget was working at a soccer camp for kids with disabilities.

All of the other three mothers were equally busy, but not Mom. Since my
youngest sister Amelia started Kindergarten Mom got a teaching job at the
local elementary school (it was private, not public, so she wasn't working
in the same district as the school I went to.) so she was the only mother
home for the summer. This was decided that the four of us s would stay
at my house for the whole entire damn summer.

At first it was horrible. Bailey complained that she was named after a
that died at least thirty years ago and that she should have been named
after someone alive and that could make a difference. Elena complained that
she should have been able to go to Greece for the summer because she had
just turned thirteen. Abie had wanted to go to a softball camp down up in
New York state but Bridget had said no.

Mom said I took after Tibby, my hobbies--photography, producing movies. I
had wanted to go to movie camp but Mom had said no because it was hard
enough being able to afford five kids, sending one to summer camp would be
even worse. So this is how we became friends even if we weren't best ones.
