Margaret Moorman

Opis

When Margaret Moorman's older sister Sally was first hospitalized with schizophrenia in 1959, her family denied the truth to neighbours, friends - and even themselves. Not until 30 years later, when their mother's death made her Sally's sole caretaker, did Margaret face the truth. In this memoir, she tells the story of her struggle to come to grips with the legacy of her sister's devastating disease, its effect on her own life and on her entire family. This is the story of two sisters and their love for one another.
