A Book for My Sister

Book excerpt: This book celebrates the many pleasures of having a sister. It is written by a woman who has matured and made a life of her own, who looks back warmly on growing up with a sister, and reflects on the continuing pleasures of the relationship. She speaks of the bond created by memories, the pleasure in having someone to trust and confide in. She says her sister is ""a mirror in which I can see what I was, and what I have become,"" and calls the sisterly bond ""a peaceful island in my life."" Welleran Poltarnees has exercised his research talents to find pictures that bring each thought to deeper life.
