Publisher's Note A dual portrait of the author and her late sister, based on an "Essay of the Year" award-winning article, traces how both suffered from years of abuse at the hands of men before the author successfully escaped her own cycle of violence, a survival that was overshadowed by her sister's murder by a lover. Read by Shelly Frasier. Simultaneous.
Industry Reviews "[Janine] Latus has a spare, economical style, softened by an undercurrent of humor and marked by a total absence of self-pity.... Unforgettable, unsentimental and profoundly affecting, Latus's book resonates long after the final page is turned." (starred review) (02/26/2007)
