They are faced with sexual assault, car thefts, and petty crimes with unpredictable men. Escaping from an abusive Vietnam vet, Karen takes her toddler to join her sister, who is herself raising a baby on her own; it is the first time they are under the same roof since their childhood. Their unorthodox reunion allows the sisters to forge a life-saving bond." "My Sister Life moves beyond biography or memoir to give us an astonishing vision of an American family - an authentic testimony to the defiant, undaunted faith between two sisters who connect after years apart."--BOOK JACKET.
