Industry Reviews
"...[A] soul aches here, and the future seems forlorn. But 'Sister' rises above that with its frankness and acuity, and the rhythmic beauty of its prose."
New York Times Book Review - Ron Hansen (09/01/1996)
"...[T]races the scars of childhood emotional abuse--here, strikingly rendered, the crippling and even deadly effects of abuse on the lives of Abby and Sam Schiller, the children of a sadistic small-town Midwestern car dealer....The characters are vivid, the reconstruction of events suspenseful and convincing."
