current events, don't they?

Actually the in-depth descriptions are from the Amazon notes for each book. I am not that good!!!

I have read that many authors (of books and screenplays) will introduce a character who starts out as a plot device but ends up taking over the story.
This has happened with the Sisterhood. Several characters who are very integral to the later books came into the series as bit players.

Other characters who are the focus of a mission return from time to time and lend their expertise to help the Sisters get the villain(s). Like the retired SCOTUS justice who runs an underground railroad to help abused women and their children escape.
