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.

"Regina of Warsaw meet your powerful sequel! Revenge of the Sisters, by author Geri Spieler, picks up when refugee Regina Anusevwicz—broke, homeless, and with four children—ends up in LA in 1918. The most impressive thing about Regina’s young daughters (Spieler’s aunts) is their resilience, strength, and ultimate triumph over the antisemitism they suffered as teens, abuse that would derail most of us for the rest of our lives. This is a story about the strength of the human spirit, about picking yourself up from defeat and finding a way to triumph in the end. And what’s more. This story is so engaging, I couldn't put it down—something I've come to expect from Spieler’s writing." —Tim Flood, author of The Flower of Canaan

"Spieler's straightforward style lets the story and characters shine in this tale of three sisters balancing the scales of justice. It's delicious to read about how Rose, Josie, and Dorothy—each wronged in a different way because of her poverty and social status—achieve retribution. Along the way, 1930s California comes richly to life through the lives of these three women." —Audrey Kalman, author of What Remains Unsaid and Tiny Shoes Dancing

"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
