February 11, 2025

Is it possible to know someone from only the words they have left behind?

In this fascinating account, Rebecca Titchner pieces together the life of a sister she never knew through two decades of detailed journals the woman left behind. This adoption memoir touches on Titchner being given up at birth, the sister who walked away from the family, only to be murdered at the hands of her partner in New Orleans. This book is the tale of two sisters, and how their lives, lived separately are now together in another form.
