In September 2017, a knock on the door upends Michelle Horton's
life forever: her sister had just shot her partner and was now in
jail. During the investigation that follows, Michelle learns that
Nikki had been hiding horrific abuse for years. Stunned to find
herself in a situation she'd only ever encountered on television
and true crime podcasts, Michelle rearranges her life to care for
Nikki's children and simultaneously launches a fight to bring Nikki
home, squaring off against a criminal justice system seemingly
designed to punish the entire family. In this exquisite memoir,
Michelle retraces the sisters' childhood and explores how so many
people, including herself, could have been blind to the abuse. An
intimate look at a family surviving trauma, Dear Sister is a deeply
personal story about what it takes to be believed and the danger of
keeping truths hidden. Ultimately, Horton turns her family's
suffering into hard won wisdom: a profound story of resilience and
the unbreakable bond between sisters.
