"Life is hard enough as it is." - This is the motto of the village where the three sisters are at home. The motto makes everyone continue to struggle on their own, rather than ask for help. Neighbours hardly know one another. Parents are too busy to spend time with their children. Everyone lives in their own little world. All this is about to change when the Earth Fairy comes to visit. The three sisters look and behave like ordinary young girls. They squabble a lot - as siblings sometimes do - and each of them has a special gift. "If you learn to work together, you will live happily ever after," says the fairy. The promise comes true in unexpected ways. After writing this fairy tale I realised that it is a story about a tragic event which happened last year in the area where I live. In October 2017 large areas of Central Portugal were reduced to ashes in a horrendous firestorm. Many people lost their homes, farms, animals, livelihoods or lives in one fateful night. The spirit of collaboration and resilience after the tragedy has been remarkable and inspiring. 'The Three Sisters' is a reminder that when the worst comes to the worst we are all better off as sisters (and brothers).

(Unedited) "You weren't here! You haven't been in a long time so stop trying to act like you were." Willow grew up in a house with six brothers, one of them being her twin. She's grown up in a two bedroom apartment with an alcoholic mother who never managed to pay the bills on time or even buy food, so the eldest two brother's always took the responsibility, and once they left it was passed on to the next brother. But eventually all her big brother's had left without looking back and it was just her, her twin Wes and their mother whenever she was around. They got along just fine for the next two years, they somehow managed to get through the tough times together and they thought it would stay that way, the two of them against the world. Until their mother got pregnant and they had the responsibility of raising their baby sister at the age of 11. They pulled through and it was now the three of them against the world. They believe they can get through anything and they hope that's true when suddenly the brothers who disappeared years ago start to show up looking to mend their relationship with the twins who hold a deep hatred for their older brothers. Can they fix the broken relationship with the twins and build a new one with their new baby sister? Or is it too late? --- It's better than it sounds.
