Your Brothers, Your Sisters, YOU!!

An absolutely phenomenal book about the various relationships among and between brothers and sisters -- all ages, all kinds, from twins to blended (step-) families. The author uses illustrations from his own family of four brothers and a sister for a personal touch. He has interviewed scores of sibling groups and interweaves their stories to make his points about the importance of siblings in each of our lives -- even those who died young or were stillborn! I must admit I wept over some of the tales. He points out that the sibling relationship is the longest-lived of all in our lives, from the cradle to the grave -- and beyond.
