Description: In Sister to Sister, twenty acclaimed women writers examine this unique bond and its influence on female development, as well as the extraordinary significance of the shared history between sisters.

Among the writers contributing to this groundbreaking anthology are Lucy Grealy, who writes about the mysteries of twinship; Joy Harjo, who reveals how her sister survived family violence: Letty Cottin Pogrebin, who explores the differences in her relationships with her two half-sisters; and Debra Spark, who describes the experience of losing her twenty-six-year-old sister to breast cancer.

The narratives explore the diversity in the sister relationship - from sisters who haven't spoken in years to sisters whose deep bond precludes traditional marriage.
