When Maria Flook's fourteen-year-old sister Karen disappeared from their suburban home, the author was changed forever. My Sister Life maps the story of two castaways from American suburbia who, while apart from each other, live mysteriously parallel lives. With unrelenting realism and beguiling wit, Flook gives us an intimate account of her sister's life as a child prostitute, and of their coming of age in the 1960s--that surreal and wrenching moment of baby-boomer disenfranchisement, when the sexual revolution collided with the domestic fallout from the Vietnam War. From the ocean liners and Paris vacations of their refined upbringing to the gritty peepshows and adult theaters where they find jobs, the girls flee from a beautiful and tormented matriarch with secrets of her own. Her missing sister becomes Flook's secret heroine--the sole example to follow in her journey into womanhood. The sisters live in trailer parks. They are faced with sexual assault, car thefts, and petty crimes with unpredictable men. Escaping from an abusive Vietnam vet, Karen takes her toddler to join her sister, who is herself raising a baby on her own; it is the first time they are under the same roof since their childhood. Their unorthodox reunion allows the sisters to forge a life-saving bond. My Sister Life moves beyond biography or memoir to give us an astonishing vision of an American family--an authentic testimony to the defiant, undaunted faith between two sisters who connect after years apart.Binding Type: Paperback

Highly recommend
Size: King/Cali King(102"x90"), Color: Gray
I love this comforter so, so much. More than I ever thought I would. Yes, it sometimes slips off but the comfortableness of it outweighs this hands down. It feels nice, not too hot and the weight is perfect. Quality and durability have been excellent. I need one in white! This was a sale that came with a different white comforter that I purchased from Bedsure that I still haven't taken out of the package because I ended up loving this one so much!

Comforter only fits king sized bed one way, look for the lengthwise seams on the sides.
Size: King/Cali King(102"x90"), Color: Gray
Most comfortable comforter I've ever owned. Can't explain it, it truly feels cool while keeping you warm. We tripled it with the cooling bamboo sheets and a cooling bamboo mattress protector and are sleeping way better. Don't waste hundreds on luxury brands that dont work half as good as these, believe me we tried them and these are way better.

~* obsessed *~
Size: King/Cali King(102"x90"), Color: Gray
i am obsessed with this comforter. super soft and silky, and actually keeps me cool at night! it is thinner than i had thought it was but it is not an issue at all. i did think it was a bit on the small size for king bed but my fiancee and i havent had an issue with that either. another plus is that it is not like all these bulky comforters you have to fight to get into the washer/dryer! VERY easy to wash! i will likely just continue buying these when i eventually need a new one!

I read all the comments before I ever buy, which is always helpful, it was very positive. I’m absolutely in love with this comforter! It’s so lightweight, but keeps me cozy at night! I don’t know why I waited so long?! It’s exactly as described 🫶🏻😴💤💤

Great blanket!!
Size: Full/Queen(88"x88"), Color: White
The weight is almost nothing. Soft and silky and warm when you need it. It is slippery, but if you put A duvet cover on it almost no slipage. It is a wonderful summer blanket. Thank you.
