Summary:
Victoria Freeman was only four when her parents followed medical advice and sent her sister away to a distant, overcrowded institution for those with intellectual disabilities. In this frank and moving memoir, Victoria describes growing up in a world that excluded and dehumanized her sister, and how society's insistence that only a "normal" life was worth living affected her sister, her family, and herself, until changing attitudes to disability and difference offered both sisters new possibilities for healing and self-discovery.
