About this series
Bertha and Tillie find fun in doing just about everything together. But, sometimes Bertha is overwhelmed by the pressures of school, getting only A’s and competing with her friends for their attention. When Bertha’s cousin Penelope Mia decides to target her and make her feel small in many ways Bertha rebels. In Bertha Fights Back, find out what happens when she joins a gang and gets involved with the wrong kids. Learn about her tolerance and understanding program. Then read what happens when she goes to Dancing School, takes Ice Skating Lessons and Tillie goes to modeling school. Bertha and Tillie - Sisters Forever is filled with stories based on real life events experienced by the author and her sister, Marcia Joyce. The first half of the book is based on the author’s experiences as an educator in the NYC Public School System as a reading and writing Staff Developer and Dean.
“As a career educator, Fran Lewis has keen insight into the hearts and minds of children. Beyond Fran’s professional service to children, she is personally dedicated to taking on the growing problem of bullying and abuse. Fran not only touches lives through her personal commitments, but reaches many more people through her writing, which both entertains and educates.”
Michael Tabman, Retired FBI Agent, Author of crime novels Midnight Sin and Bad Intent; and non-fiction, Walking the Corporate Beat: Police School for Business People
“...This book is an innocent slice of a young woman’s life and harkens back to an era when manners were king. Ms. Lewis crafted a piece of Americana for young women to read and reflect upon, similar to the American Girl series...”

- Bertha and Tillie Forever
1
Bertha and Tillie have done some really fun things in their lives and would love to share them with readers. Bertha is your narrator and she will share her feelings, her thoughts dealing with weight issues, bullying, feeling alone and having a sister that was always there for her every step of the way. Although at times it might sound as if Tillie (her sister) is part of the group picking on her, she is not. Tillie is smart, cute, thin and always wanted to be a Broadway star. But, fate steps in and things change for everyone in her family. These stories are told in no particular order. They were put together by the author in the order she wants them read. The stories are based on real life incidents that happened to us growing up. From my sister trying to teach me how to cook, to cleaning our room, we had some really fun times together. My sister passed away and I lost my partner in crime, antics and the one person who called me every morning to brighten my day. This book is dedicated to her and all sisters to let you know that you are blessed and lucky to have a sister in your life. My sister was my best friend, co-conspirator and champion. Some of the proceeds from this book will go to Montefiore/Einstein Hospital for a fund set up in memory of my mom, Ruth, who had Alzheimer’s, and The Kessler Foundation who set up a fund in memory of my sister and best friend, Marcia Wallach. Marcia, Bertha and Tillie Forever is for you!
