When Maria Flook was twelve, her fourteen year-old-sister disappeared. Karen became Maria's secret heroine - the sole example to follow in her journey to womanhood. When Karen finally returned home - extracting herself from the world of child-prostitution - their mother put her into a mental institution. Maria eerily and tragically followed Karen's path of behaviour until, after years of living as emotional castaways, the sisters were reunited, both mothers raising infants on their own, each of them the other's only source of succor and support.
With remarkable candor, 'My Sister Life' moves beyond biography and memoir to offer authentic testimony to the defiant, undaunted faith between two sisters who connect after years apart.
