Aimee and Amanda: The Hector Twins
Midge and Dixie: The Carter Sisters
The bond between sisters is profound and unique. In original essays and photographs, here is a moving portrayal of a relationship like no other.
These women speak of the wisdom and experiences they share with their sisters. They are writers, athletes, students, painters, socialites, and teachers. They tell how they share challenges in the same careers, compete in different professions, and battle together against illness.
One woman tells how she made it possible for her sister to have a child. Coretta Scott King shares an intimate letter to her sister, Edythe. Each story offers a clue to the secret of staying close, and what it means to have a sister.
These women of all ages tell how they fought and made up, how they laughed and loved, and how they gave, risked and resented one another -- but never stopped caring. Poignant and stirring, their stories are filled with humor, fierce tenderness, and pride.
Sisters is a rich, evocative celebration of an unbreakable bond.
