Sister Secrets: A Brother's Reveal

Sister Secrets: A Brother’s Reveal is a study in regret and hope for dealing with family members who suffer from mental illness, in this case, sisters who are too-late diagnosed with bipolar disorder. One sister is dead. The other is in prison. Sister Secrets is written by the brother, who examines family dynamics—a farm family in the Red River Valley, an often-absent father involved in politics, and sexual abuse—where people often don’t talk publicly (or privately) about mental illness.
