Reviews'Grammer's tender portrait of his sister as a sensitive, intelligent soul goes a long way toward correcting the record, and his vacillation between rawness and composure on the page is enormously affecting.', 'Deftly written, emotionally compelling, and the kind of 'true life' story that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf.'
