Most of the 35 million older Americans have brothers or sisters. This
book will help them make the most of those sibling connections. It provides
a heartfelt look at the dynamics of lifelong sibling relationships with
a focus on their meaning in later years. The author’s experience
as a clinical social worker and university professor of social work provides
insight that helps people understand the value and significance of their
own sibling relationships—often the most lasting bonds in a person’s
life. Compelling, personal stories told by older siblings give readers
a better comprehension of their own relationships.
