Title: this book changed my life
Review: I had never before read such truth and honesty about growing up in a home with a damaged sibling. I spent my entire childhood and teen years caretaking a severely disabled sibling--violent, abusive, stronger and bigger than me. I was a teen girl told by my parents it would make me "stronger" to have to face this. Safer does not write off the disabled as 'obnoxious' rather, she addresses the hard truth: that society today willfully and blindly ignores the damage done by not acknowledging how difficult it is to grow up in these circumstances. Future books may do this more deeply or differently, but this is a groundbreaking work and deserves attention.
