Hello!

Thank you for visiting my website. I’m excited to tell you about my new memoir, Losing My Sister.

It’s not just that my sister and I were close; we were raised to be close. Still, we lost each other three times — twice through intense, though temporary, conflict, and then finally, in the most permanent way.

I don’t believe we write books because we have something important to say. I believe we write because we have questions. My memoir explores the question: What were the forces — the family dynamics going back generations — behind two sisters who loved each other and struggled against each other with equal passion?

I spent six years writing this memoir — six years of a certain kind of solitude — so you can imagine how very much I appreciate your interest. Where would writers be without readers?

With gratitude and warm wishes,
Judy
