| 520 | |a When Molly Bruce Jacobs finds herself newly sober at the age of thirty-eight, she finally seeks out and comes face-to-face with a family secret: Anne, a younger sister who was diagnosed at birth with hydrocephalus ("water on the brain") and mental retardation, then institutionalized. Anne has never been home to visit, and Jacobs has never seen her. Full of trepidation, Jacobs goes to meet her sister for the first time. Over time she learns of the decades of life not shared, gains insights about herself, and gradually comes to understand that her parents' reasons for placing Anne in an institution were far more complex than she'd ever imagined.--From publisher description. | ||
